Ouachita Parish School Board is a school district headquartered in West Monroe, Louisiana, United States.

The district serves Ouachita Parish except for areas within the City of Monroe; those areas are instead served by the Monroe City School System.

One of the former members of the Ouachita Parish School Board was the Monroe native Marc Swayze, a comic book artist and writer. Still another former member is Charles Anding, a state representative from House District 15 in West Monroe from 1988 to 1996.

Since 2015, the Board owns the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum in Monroe.

In July 2022 the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Dallas Office, has begun an investigation into Ouachita Parish Schools for racial discrimination, disability discrimination, and retaliation.
