Lancieux (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃sjø] ^ⓘ; Breton: Lanseeg; Gallo: Lansioec) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany in northwestern France.

Lancieux derives its name from the Breton lann ("hermitage") and Seoc, Cieux, or Sieu, a monk who came from British Cornwall at the end of the 6th century AD; therefore it can be translated as "the hermitage of Seoc".

Inhabitants of Lancieux are called lancieutins or lancieutains in French.

The British-Canadian poet and writer Robert W. Service, known as the "Bard of the Yukon", used to spend summers in Lancieux from 1913 until his death in 1958. He had a deep affection for the town and its scenic seaside. On many occasions, he made monetary gifts to the town, including for the school and the war memorial.^[3] Service is buried in the town cemetery.^[4]

The town of Lancieux has paid homage to the memory of Robert W. Service. One of its streets has been called Robert Service Street. A few years later, on May 18, 2002 the school of Lancieux took the name of "École Robert W. Service".^[5][6] Since 2000, Lancieux and Whitehorse, Yukon are sister cities.^[7]
