Laniel ({{IPA|fr|lanjɛl}}) is an unorganized territory in the Témiscamingue Regional County Municipality, Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, Quebec, Canada. It surrounds the northern portion of Lake Kipawa.

Laniel is also a hamlet located within this territory at the outflow of Lake Kipawa where Route 101 crosses the Kipawa River. It was named in honour of priest Armand Laniel (1866-1928). The hamlet used to have a post office that opened in 1934.{{toponymie |34052 |text=Laniel (hameau) |access-date=2023-12-12}}

In addition to the namesake hamlet, the territory also includes the hamlet of Baie-Dorval ({{Coord|46|59|03|N|79|14|23|W|display=inline|region:CA-QC}}). This hamlet, located on Dorval Bay of Lake Kipawa, was founded in the early 20th century and originally called Baie-Stenhouse, after a forestry entrepreneur in the region. Both the bay and hamlet were renamed in 1989, to honour the first settler family that settled on the bay in 1922.{{toponymie |242570 |text=Baie-Dorval (hameau) |access-date=2023-12-12}}

Until 2005, Laniel and Lacs-du-Témiscamingue unorganized territories were part of the Rivière-Kipawa unorganized territory.{{cite web |url=http://stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/referenc/pdf2005/Modif_oct05.pdf |title=Modifications aux municipalités du Québec – Octobre 2005 |website=stat.gouv.qc.ca |publisher=Institut de la statistique du Québec |date=October 2005 |access-date=30 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061230023343/http://stat.gouv.qc.ca/publications/referenc/pdf2005/Modif_oct05.pdf |archive-date=30 December 2006 |url-status=dead}}
