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 in 1500, which were triggered by the forced conversions of its Muslim population to Christianity. It was the scene of one of the most violent episode during the suppression of the rebellion. Two hundred Muslims who have taken refuge in a local mosque were blown up with gunpowder under order of Louis de Beaumont.
