Laujar de Andarax is a municipality of Almería province, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.
The people of Laujar de Andarax took part in the rebellion of 1500, triggered by the forced conversion of its Muslim population to Christianity. It was the scene of one of the most violent episodes during the suppression of the rebellion. Two hundred Muslims who had taken refuge in a local mosque were blown up with gunpowder under the order of Louis de Beaumont.
