In this white paper, we present the scientific cases for adding narrowband optical filters to the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). LSST is currently planning to observe the southern sky in 6 broadband optical filters. Three of the four LSST science themes would benefit from adding narrowband filter observations. We discuss the technical considerations of using narrowband filters with the LSST and lay out the scientific impact that would result on the study of AGB stars, emission line nebula (e.g., supernova remnants and planetary nebulae), photometric redshifts of galaxies, and the determination of stellar parameters.
