Laguiole ({{IPA|fr|lajɔl|}}; La Guiòla {{IPA|oc|laˈjɔlɔ|}} in Languedocien) is a commune in the southern French department of Aveyron.

It is known for its Laguiole cheese, which has an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (label of guaranteed origin), and as the birthplace of the Laguiole knife. The name of the village comes from la gleisòla, meaning a little church.
