Lahošť, until 2006 Lahošt (German: Loosch), is a village and municipality (obec) in Teplice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.
The municipality covers an area of 3.02 square kilometres (1.17 sq mi).
Lahošť lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) west of Teplice, 20 km (12 mi) west of Ústí nad Labem, and 76 km (47 mi) north-west of Prague.
Fossils of an elasmosaurid plesiosaur were found near this city at the end of the 19th Century. In Hudcov, a nearby village, the plesiosaur Cimoliasaurus teplicensis was described in 1906 by Czech palaeontologist Antonín Frič.
The Lahošť quarry, known for distinctive specimens of barite, actually lies just across the line in the neighboring village of Jeníkov.
