Calgary Forest Lawn is a former federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 2015 to 2025.

Calgary Forest Lawn was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was defined in the 2013 representation order. 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]

The 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution transferred the northern neighbourhoods of Coral Springs, Monterey Park, Rundle and Prineridge to the new riding of Calgary McKnight. While the remaining portion was transferred to the newly created riding of Calgary East.[4]

It is named after the Calgary neighbourhood of Forest Lawn.
