Conflent
{{short description|Historical region in Catalonia}}
{{Distinguish|Conflans (disambiguation)}}
Conflent ({{IPA|fr|kɔ̃flɑ̃}}; {{IPA|ca|kumˈflen}}) is a historical Catalan comarca of Northern Catalonia, now part of the French department of Pyrénées-Orientales. In the Middle Ages it comprised the County of Conflent.
The capital of this pays is Prades ({{langx|ca|Prada de Conflent}}), and it borders the pays of Capcir, Rosselló, Vallespir, Alta Cerdanya and Ripollès, and the Occitan-speaking pays of Fenolleda.
It roughly corresponds to the valley of the Têt River ({{langx|ca|Tet}}) and its neighbourhoods between Rodès and Mont-Louis ({{langx|ca|Montlluís}}). Conflent is dominated by the Canigou ({{langx|ca|Canigó}}) mountain.
