Robert E. Lindblom Math & Science Academy High School (LMSA) (formerly known as Lindblom Technical High School and Lindblom College Prep High School) is a public four-year selective enrollment high school and middle school located in the West Englewood neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Lindblom is operated by the Chicago Public School system. The school originally constructed in 1919 is named for Robert E. Lindblom, a nineteenth-century Swedish–born trader on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Designated for students intended to enter vocations in industrial and skilled trades, it developed curricula to prepare students for college in the post-World War II era. In the early 1960s, Lindblom became one of the first selective enrollment high schools in Chicago Public Schools, predominately serving communities south of Roosevelt Road. Beginning in the 1999–2000 school year, the school was renamed as Lindblom College Prep High School. Following certain challenges with the turn of the millennium, the original site closed after the 2002–2003 school year. Students were housed in an elementary school located nearly 6.5 miles away in the Oakland community area for the next two years.

Lindblom reopened in 2005–2006, housing two student bodies for the College Prep's final senior class and the inaugural freshman class of the Math & Science Academy. The Chicago City Council approved the designation of the Lindblom building as a Chicago landmark by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks on June 9, 2010.
