Locminé (; Gallo: Lominoec, ) is a commune in the Morbihan department and Brittany region of north-western France.
==Toponymy== The name Locminé comes from the Breton ''Loc'h menec'h, itself from the Latin Locus monachorum – (sacred) place of the monks – after the monastery established here in 1008. Use of the term loc'h to denote the many small monasteries founded in Brittany between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries was commonplace, and this is the origin of the majority of parish names beginning in Loc-''.
