Leuk (French: Loèche-Ville) is a municipality in the district of Leuk in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
Since it controls access to the Gemmi Pass, it had some importance from the time of Roman Raetia. The Leukerbad thermal baths are just North of Leuk, towards the pass. It is the capital of the Leuk district of the Valais.
Leuk is home to one of the installations of Onyx, the Swiss interception system for electronic intelligence gathering.
Leuk is first mentioned in 515 as villa de Leuca.
Leuk was already inhabited in the pre-Roman era. Scattered La Tène era graves with poppy-head pins, brooches and a belt hook have been found in Leuk. In the 6th Century it belonged to the demesne of the King of Burgundy Sigismund, who donated it to the Abbey of Saint-Maurice. The local population of romanized Celts gradually became Germanized around the turn of the millennium due to invading Alamanni. However, even by the 14th Century there was still a strong roman minority in Leuk.
