Résidence Lafrance, or sometimes Résidence Lafrance (transl. Lafrance Residence, and Lafrance Residence respectively) is a co-ed dormitory on the campus of the Université de Moncton in Moncton, New Brunswick.[1] It is named after abbot Xavier-François Lafrance, the first resident priest of the Tracadie parish.[2]

With 160 rooms and 11 floors it is the largest residence at the university. The building is one of the original structures built for the opening of the university in 1962. At 11 floors the residence is one of the tallest buildings in Moncton. The building is sometimes called "the High Rise" because of this.
