The Lycée Saint-Louis (French pronunciation: [lise sɛ̃ lwi]) is a selective post-secondary school located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, in the Latin Quarter. It is the only state-funded French lycée that exclusively offers classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles (CPGE; preparatory classes for French top-level educational institutions).

Saint-Louis has educated many notable alumni, including five Nobel Prize laureates, one Fields Medalist, one President of France, as well as major intellectual figures such as Charles Baudelaire, Émile Zola and Louis Pasteur.
