Fanjeaux (French pronunciation: [fɑ̃ʒo] (listen); Occitan: Fanjaus) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France.

Fanjeaux is located west of Carcassonne. Between 1206 and 1215, Fanjeaux was the home of Saint Dominic, the founder of the Roman Catholic Church's Dominican Order, who preached to the Cathars in the area (see Catharism).
