Annie L. Gaetz Elementary School is a primary school in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. A staff of 12 teaches approximately 244 students in grades K-5. The principal is Wendy Cawson. The school is designed to serve the Morrisroe subdivision, but also has students from other areas in Red Deer.

Its controlling school board, the Red Deer Public School District, operates two special programs at the school. The Strategies program helps about ten students in grades four and five with their learning disabilities. The Horizons is a gifted program, also for students in grades four and five.

The school was named after a local history teacher who arrived in Red Deer in 1908 from Nova Scotia. She wrote the books The Park Country History of Red Deer Alberta and District in 1948 (a revised edition was released in 1960) and Trails of yesterday: Folk lore of the Red Deer District in 1952. She also wrote for a local newspaper.
