Plazac ({{IPA|fr|plazak}}; {{langx|oc|Plasac}}) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. It is near the village of Les Eyzies and the city of Sarlat-la-Canéda.
The bishops of Périgueux built a fortified residence in Plazac in the 12th-13th century. Its donjon was transformed into a bell tower in the 17th century. Its chapel is now the village church. One wing of the residence has been preserved.{{Base Mérimée|PA24000024|Château des Evêques et ancien cimetière}}
During World War II, Plazac sheltered the residents of Bootzheim (Alsace) who were evacuated.[https://www.plazac.fr/vie-associative/jumelage/ Jumelage Bootzheim / Plazac]
