Montcuq ( or ; Lengadocian: Montcuc) is a town and former commune in the Lot department in south-western France, lying outside Cahors. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc. Its residents are known as Montcuquois.
The town remains vibrant and a popular tourist destination, in part because its name, in standard French pronunciation, is homophonic with mon cul, meaning my arse.
