Mégrine (Arabic: ) is a town and commune in the Ben Arous Governorate, Tunisia. It has the head office of Monoprix, Tunisia.
== History == Mégrine was established following the subdivision of the Mégrine estate, an agricultural and viticultural operation managed by the Société Anonyme du Domaine de Mégrine. At the beginning of the 20th century, Count Foy, one of the representatives of the company, oversaw the continuation of the estate's operations until 1924, when, facing financial ruin, the estate was put up for sale. A group of Italians made purchase offers, which the Count accepted. However, the Tunisian state—through the Department of Agriculture—rejected the offers and acquired the estate in 1924.
