Morlaix is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in northwestern France. It is a sub-prefecture of the department.

The old quarter of the town has winding streets of cobbled stones and overhanging houses constructed of stone and timber. Many have religious and secular sculptures on their façades.

One of these houses is "la Maison dite de la duchesse Anne", or the "so-called Duchess Anne's house", which is now a museum, open to the public. This sixteenth-century house is said to be one of the oldest in the town.

The Museum of the Jacobins in Morlaix, housed in a former convent, traces the history of Finistère. The town also contains the Parc botanique de Suscinio.

Morlaix is a popular location for sea sports enthusiasts with a diverse array of activities on offer including surfing, sand buggying and kite flying. Visitors can also find beautiful coastal paths for walks. Morlaix is home to France's tallest lighthouse, "Phare de L'Île Vierge". Inland activities include bowling, golf, horse-riding and many more. There are also a cinema and a swimming pool.

A tidal river that almost completely dries out at low tide reaches the town of Morlaix where there is a lock into a marina.

Morlaix Railway Station is served by TGV on the Paris-Brest railway.
