Lundsbergs boarding school (Swedish: Lundsbergs skola) is a Swedish boarding school located in the Parish of Storfors north of Kristinehamn in Värmland, Sweden. Lundsberg was founded in 1896 with inspirations from classical English boarding schools, and has approximately 200 students today. The school is run by the Lundsbergs school Foundation, Stiftelsen Lundsbergs skola[1] and is well known for its conservative atmosphere.

The school is one of the three elite boarding schools in Sweden. Annual tuition is 285,000 SEK.[2] The cost is subsidized by the state but augmented by parents.[3] The school consists of six dormitories, of which three are boys' dormitories (Forest Hill, Björke and Gransäter), and three are girls' dormitories (Klätten, Herrgården and Skogshult).
