Ladywood High School was a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls high school in Livonia, Michigan. It was located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit.
It opened in 1950. From 2005 to 2017 the number of students declined by 60%, with 169 students in 2017. In December 2017, the archdiocese announced that Ladywood High School would close at the end of the 2017–2018 school year.{{Cite news|last=Zaniewski|first=Ann|date=11 December 2017|url=https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/wayne/2017/12/11/livonia-ladywood-closing/942289001/|title=Ladywood High School in Livonia closing in spring; cite drop in enrollment|work=Detroit Free Press|access-date=12 December 2017|language=en}}
