La Hague is a region on the tip of the Cotentin peninsula in Normandy, France.

The dialect of the Norman language spoken by a minority in the region is called Haguais. The Norman poet Côtis-Capel was a native of the region and used the landscape as inspiration for his poetry. The painter Jean-François Millet was also a native of the region.

The COGEMA La Hague site, the largest Light Water Reactor Nuclear Waste Reprocessing Plant (over half of the world capacity), is located in the region.
