Planken (; dialectal: Planka) is a municipality in Oberland, Liechtenstein. It has four exclaves, two enclaves and a population of 473. Thus it is the least populous municipality of Liechtenstein.
==History== The Romanic population from Schaan and Vaduz had already cleared the area of the village before the Walser migrated there in the 13th century and started clearing the upper parts of the municipality. The first documented naming was in the year 1361. The village was looted twice, first by the Swiss in 1499 when they campaigned against Frastanz (Battle of Frastanz) and in 1799 by the French when they ousted the Austrian forces during the Napoleonic Wars.
