Lecques (French pronunciation: [lɛk]; Occitan: Lècas) is a commune in the Gard department in southern France.
It is built on rising ground, on the west bank of the River Vidourle, 6 km (3.7 mi) to the north and upstream of Sommières.
The village centre is on a rocky outcrop that overhangs the bank of the river.
Its elevation means it is protected from the 'vidourlades' or violent floods, for example, that of 9 September 2002.
The name 'Lecques' comes from the Celtic word 'leucas', meaning a settlement by a marker post on an ancient track.
