Lézardrieux (Breton: Lezardrev) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany in northwestern France.
The village is situated near the mouth of the estuary of the Trieux river - the suspension bridge (Pont de Lézardrieux) across the river at this point is a French national monument. There is a marina with moorings for several hundred pleasure boats and the tidal range experienced is remarkable.
There are a variety of shops and other commercial enterprises - including two bakeries, a butcher and several restaurants and bars.
Inhabitants of Lézardrieux are called lézardriviens in French.
The village hosts a music festival in late May and several regattas depart from the port.
Notable figures associated with the village are Paul Le Flem (composer) and Georges Brassens (musician and poet).
