Clohars-Carnoët (French pronunciation: [klɔaʁ kaʁnwεt]; Breton: Kloar-Karnoed) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. The beach resort of Le Pouldu, with the beaches of Bellangenet and Kerrou, is located in the town.
The commune has two small harbours: Le Pouldu and Doëlan. The Carnoët forest extends partly over the north of the commune. Historically, the village belongs to Cornouaille. The mouth of the river Ellé, called Laïta, forms a natural boundary to the east.
Inhabitants of Clohars-Carnoët are called in French Cloharsiens.
