'''Le Fleix''' ({{IPA|fr|lə flɛ}}; {{langx|oc|Lo Flèis}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the [[Dordogne]] [[Departments of France|department]] in [[Nouvelle-Aquitaine]] in southwestern [[France]].

Le Fleix lies on the banks of the [[Dordogne (river)|Dordogne]] at a place where the river bends. This is likely the origin of the name "flexus".

==History==
Le Fleix is famous for the [[Treaty of Fleix]], signed there in 1580.

There were once two castles in Le Fleix, the Old Castle, which was destroyed, and the New Castle built in the 17th century as a residence for [[Frédéric de Foix]]. It was sold during the [[French Revolution]], and became a [[Protestant]] church in 1805.
