The Cooerwull Academy was a Presbyterian day and boarding school for boys located in Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. It was founded in 1851 by the Scottish pastoralist and industrialist, Andrew Brown, who was also the Lithow Valley's first European settler originally for the purpose of training presbyterian ministers[1].

It was a member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales. It was attached to St Andrew's College at the University of Sydney (also founded by Andrew Brown).

The school ceased operating when most of its staff enlisted to fight in the First World War [2]. It then became a private residence. In 1953 the site was converted into the Catholic, La Salle Academy, which is still currently operating today[3].
