Memory RNA is a now-discredited hypothetical form of RNA that was proposed by James V. McConnell and others as a means of explaining how long-term memories were stored in the brain.

The basic principle or the memory RNA was also used by comic book writer Alan Moore to explain the origin of DC Comics' character the Swamp Thing in Saga of the Swamp Thing #21.

This concept shows up in several of Larry Niven's short stories and various episodes of The Invisible Man (2000 TV series).
