Prats de Lluçanès (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpɾadz ðə ʎusəˈnɛs]) is a municipality in the comarca of Lluçanès in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated in the west of the comarca, on a plain between the Lluçanès and Merlès rivers, and is served by the C-154 road between Vic and Gironella.

In 2015, the municipality voted to join a proposed new comarca of Lluçanès, of which it would be the capital, but the plan was put on hold due to insufficient support. Formerly part of Osona, it was finally incorporated into the new Lluçanès comarca in 2023, since then it has served as its capital.
