Lutheran schools in the United States are educational institutions set up under or affiliated with various Lutheran denominations. These synods are not affiliated with each other and vary in their doctrinal beliefs. Most Lutheran schools in the United States are associated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), or the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), though there are several which are associated with other Lutheran denominations such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC), and the Church of the Lutheran Confession (CLC).

Post-secondary education
Many North American Lutheran denominations have universities and seminaries affiliated with them. The ELCA has schools which are part of the Network of ELCA Colleges and Universities while the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod has the Concordia University System. Other denominations such as the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, Evangelical Lutheran Synod, Church of the Lutheran Brethren, also have their own colleges and universities. Valparaiso University is a Lutheran university that is not affiliated directly with a single denomination but shares ties to the ELCA and LCMS.
