Morning Star Boys' Ranch is a residential facility for youths in Spokane, Washington. It was established in 1956. Morning Star Boys' Ranch achieved national accreditation for Council on Accreditation in July 2019.

The Morning Stars Boys’ Ranch has been subject to multiple lawsuits alleging sexual and physical abuse of the children placed in its care.[1] The priest overseeing the boys during the time of the alleged physical and sexual abuse were reinstated to the church in 2015.[2]
