Laotians in France (Lao: ຄົນລາວຝຣັ່ງເສດ, French: Diaspora laotienne en France) consist of people of Lao ancestry who were born in or immigrated to France. The population as of 2019 is estimated to be 200,000.
The Laotian community in France forms the most established overseas Laotian population outside of Southeast Asia, with a presence in the country dating to before the end of the Laotian Civil War and mass refugee migration that resulted from it.
