Locoal-Mendon (; ) is a commune in the Morbihan department of Brittany in north-western France.

==Toponymy== Known as Locus Sancti Guitali in 1037 and Sanctus Gudualus in 1387. From the Breton lok which means hermitage (cf.: Locminé), and Goal which is a name for the Breton saint Gudwal, Gurval or Gutual, eponym also of Gulval. Mendon is derives probably from the Breton men which means rock and don which means deep.
