Lennestadt (, ; occasionally also die Lennestadt) lies in the Sauerland in southeast North Rhine-Westphalia and is a municipality in Olpe district. It is the district's most populous municipality. Lennestadt itself is not an actual town but a municipality which comprises several towns and villages.
== Geography == Lennestadt lies at the common point of the Ebbegebirge (in the west), Homert and Rothaargebirge (in the east) Nature Parks and is crossed by the river Lenne, a tributary to the Ruhr. Besides the Hundem, which empties into the Lenne in the outlying centre of Altenhundem, the Veischede also feeds this river, near Grevenbrück.
