Lilfordia School (or Lilfordia) is an independent, preparatory, boarding school for boys and girls in Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. Lilfordia was established in 1909 by Agnes and Atherton Lilford. The school is notable for the producing talented cricketers such as Brendan Taylor and Trevor Madondo.

Lilfordia School is a member of the Association of Trust Schools and the Headmaster is a member of the Conference of Heads of Independent Schools in Zimbabwe.
