Lärbro is a locality on the Swedish island of Gotland, with 963 inhabitants in 2014. Formerly a socken, on 1 January 2016, it was reconstituted into the administrative area Lärbro District.

Lärbro is the name of the socken, now district. It is also the name of the larger locality within the district and the small village surrounding the medieval Lärbro Church, sometimes referred to as Lärbro kyrkby. It is located in the north part of Gotland, approximately 8 km (5.0 mi) north of Slite.

In 1921–60, Lärbro had a railway connection with Visby. The locality's main source of income is tourism.
