The Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board (SWLSB, , CSSWL) is a school board headquartered in Rosemère, Quebec in Greater Montreal.
It officially came into existence in July 1998 when English-language schools from eight former school boards were amalgamated. Laurenval School Board, Laurentian School Board and Laurentienne School Trustees were merged, and the English sector of the other school boards of the Laval, Laurentides and Lanaudière administrative regions joined to form the new administrative entity.
The Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board is the third largest Anglophone school board in the Province of Quebec, Canada.

In 1999 the school district announced it was moving the headquarters to Rosemère, stating that the building is out of compliance with safety codes and was too small. The cost for the Rosemère facility was $2,250,000. Some parents at the time argued that the district should have used the money to improve transportation.
