Calgary-Forest Lawn was a provincial electoral district in central east Calgary from 1979 to the 1989 election. In 1979 the riding was carved out of the southern end of Calgary McCall. The riding disappeared in 1993 when it merged with part of Calgary-Millican to re-form Calgary-East.

The riding was named after the community and former town of Forest Lawn.
