Lac la Biche Indian Residential School (IRS) was located in northern Alberta northeast of Edmonton on the south shore of Lac La Biche. The residential school operated from 1893 - 1963 (70 years) under Roman Catholic administration.

Missionaries established a residential school in Lac la Biche in present-day Alberta in the early 1850s. In 1862, a new school and orphanage opened, but it was closed in 1872 due to poor enrollment numbers.

In 1877, federal funding was provided for a new school, and by 1894 the government recognized the school as an industrial school.

In 1898, the industrial school was transferred to the Blue Quills reserve, and in 1905 a new boarding school opened at Lac la Biche.

The school buildings were renovated in 1941 and closed in 1963.
