Looe (; , ) is a coastal town and civil parish in south-east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It lies west of Plymouth and south of Liskeard. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 5,311.
Looe developed as the two separate towns of East Looe () and West Looe (, "little cove") on opposite sides of the River Looe. The two towns were linked by Looe Bridge from the 15th century, but remained separate boroughs until the 19th century. They were administratively united in 1898.
