Lift Richmond Park is a secondary school with an academy status in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The school is part of the Lift Schools.

Richmond Park Academy was formed in 2010 when academy status was granted to the predecessor Shene School. In 2024, Richmond Park Academy renamed as Lift Richmond Park. The academy is led by James Whelan, and is managed by Lift Schools. In 2011 the academy secured almost £10 million of government funding for building improvements. Renovation and new building work was finished in 2015, with an official opening by Dame Jacqueline Wilson.
