This article is about the Romance dialect spoken in the Lorraine region of France. For the Germanic dialect spoken in northern Lorraine, see Lorraine Franconian.

Lorrain is a language spoken by a minority of people in Lorraine in France and in Gaume in Belgium. It is one of the Langues d'oïl. It is classified as a regional language of France, and has the recognised status of a regional language of Wallonia (where it is known as Gaumais). It has been influenced by Lorraine Franconian and Luxembourgish, Germanic languages spoken in nearby or overlapping areas.
