Lycée français Charles Lepierre is an international school in Lisbon, Portugal.[1] The medium of instruction is French. About 63% of the students are French or French-Portuguese, while about 10% are of other nationalities.

In 1907, a French-medium school was opened on Rua da Emenda by the Société de l’École Française de Lisbonne. In 1917 the school moved to Pátio do Tijolo in the Braancamp Palace near Largo do Rato, purchased that year by the Société de l’École Française de Lisbonne. In 1952, the school moved to its current location.

The school is named after professor Charles Lepierre (1867-1945), a chemical engineer who graduated from the École de Physique et Chimie Industrielle de Paris, who was a student of Pierre Curie and who moved to Portugal in 1888.

The school belongs to the system of schools managed by the Agence pour l’Enseignement du Français à l’Étranger (AEFE) under the French foreign ministry. The school follows the official instructions of France's Ministry of National Education.
