Luokė (Samogitian: Loukė) is a town in Telšiai County, Lithuania.

[2] In the 16th century, Jews settled in the town, and called it Luknik (לוקניק in Yiddish).

In 1940, the Soviet Union nationalised the factories and shops of the remaining 300 Jews, closed the Hebrew school, and banned Zionist organisations.

In June 1941, after Nazi takeover, locals humiliated the town's Jews, tortured the rabbi and cut off his beard, took hostages to extract a 50,000 rouble "fine" from the community (at a time when an unskilled worker might earn 1,000 roubles per annum), and turned the town's Jews over to the Nazi-controlled Lithuanian Auxiliary Police, at whose hands many experienced rape and forced labour.

Rabbi Chaim Rabinowitz, who became head of the Telshe Yeshiva in Telšiai, was born in Luoke in 1856.
