The Livingston Educational Service Agency (LESD) is an intermediate school district in Michigan, headquartered in Howell.

Most of Livingston County is served by the Livingston Educational Service Agency, which coordinates the efforts of local boards of education, but has no operating authority over schools. Local school boards in Michigan retain great autonomy over day-to-day operations.
