Calgary Forest Lawn is a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2015.

It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.[2] It was created out of parts of the electoral districts of Calgary East and Calgary Northeast.[3]

It is named after the Calgary neighbourhood of Forest Lawn.
