Łobez [ˈwɔbɛs] (German: Labes) is a town in Poland, in West Pomeranian Voivodeship. It is the capital of Łobez County, and has a population of 10,409 (2015).
Łobez lies upon the Rega river.
The name Łobez comes from the Old Polish łobuzie (meaning "bushes").
Łobez was first mentioned in a document from 1271, according to which a knight named Borko was the owner of the city. In 1295, Łobez received rights as a city. Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (Province of Pomerania). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and were replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
