Balaguères (French pronunciation: [balaɡɛʁ]; Occitan: Balaguèras) is a commune in the Ariège department in the Occitanie region of south-western France.

The Ruisseau de Lachein flows from the north-west through the commune, gathering several tributaries, to join the Lez at the village.

[3] [3] Balagué, Agert, and Alas were all part of the lordship of Aspet in the 12th century together with Engomer, Montgauch, Bareilles, and Mauvezin de Prat.

On 12 December 1642 Guy d'Encausse, Lord of Labastide (near Rieucazé) purchased Alas-Balagué and gave it to Jean-Jacques de Solan.

The rest remained permanently in the hands of the king as sole lord: Aspet, Chein, Escaich, Estadens, Montgauch-Bareilles, and Saleich.
