Laxe ({{IPA|gl|ˈlaʃɪ}}; {{langx|es|Lage}} {{IPA|es|'laxe|}}) is a northwestern municipality of Spain in the province of A Coruña, in the autonomous community of Galicia. It belongs to the comarca of Bergantiños. It is situated in the sheltered Cabanas bay area, meaning that Laxe's expansive sandy beaches are well-sheltered from Atlantic winds.
Laxe's average temperatures vary greatly, with an average winter-time high of 10-12 celsius, compared to highs of 31-33 celsius in June–July.{{cite web|url=http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/AllReviews-g1082745-Laxe_A_Coruna_Province_Galicia.html |title=Laxe Guide - Latest Laxe, A Coruna Province, Galicia Travel Guides and Reviews |publisher=TripAdvisor |date= |accessdate=2011-11-15}}
