The pure rotational spectrum of MgH radical (X 2 Sigma (+)) in its ground state v = 0 and v = 1 vibrational modes has been observed in the laboratory using millimeter/submillimeter direct absorption spectroscopy. The rotational spectra of two isotopically substituted species, MgD and (Mg-26)H, have been detected as well. All six hyperfine components of the N = 0 -1 transition of MgH in its v = 0 and v = 1 states have been directly measured to an accuracy of +/-50 kHz, and the five components have been observed for (Mg-26)H. The N = 0 +/-1 and N = 1 -2 transitions of MgD have also been detected. Rotational, fine structure, and hyperfine constants were determined for all species from a nonlinear least-squared fit to the data using a 2 Sigma Hamiltonian.
