Lagunes (French: lagoons ) was an administrative unit of the highest sub-national level in the Ivory Coast from 1997 to 2011 . The capital of the region was Abidjan , and its area was 13,223 km². After an administrative reform in 2011, the name Lagunes was transferred to part of the former region.

Before its dissolution, the region consisted of seven departments : Abidjan , Alépé , Dabou , Grand-Lahou , Jacqueville , Sikensi and Tiassalé (the Département de Sikensi was only separated from the Dabou department in 2005).
