Our Lady of Laus (French: Notre-Dame du Laus), or Refuge of Sinners, denotes Marian apparitions that took place between 1664 and 1718 in Saint-Étienne-le-Laus, France, to Benoîte Rencurel, a young shepherdess. On 23 May 1855, Pope Pius IX granted a Canonical Coronation to the marble image of Our Lady of Laus. On 5 May 2008, the apparitions were approved by decree of the local Bishop, Jean-Michel de Falco Leandri, with approval of the Holy See.
