Våxtorp () is a locality situated in Laholm Municipality, Halland County, Sweden, with 970 inhabitants in 2010.

The village is situated not too far from the horst Hallandsåsen and the national highway number 24 runs through it. Most of the modern settlement has grown around the crossing of the roads from Båstad to Hishult and Laholm to Örkelljunga. In the beginning of the last century the village was not more than a couple of farms near this crossing. The most noted landmark is the church of the Våxtorp-Hasslöv parish and the two skiing centres.
