Laško Brewery (Slovene: Pivovarna Laško) is a brewery in the Slovenian town of Laško and the largest brewery of the country.

The brewery was founded in 1825 by Franz Geyer, a gingerbread baker and mead producer. After World War II ended in 1945, Laško was the fifth-largest in Yugoslavia. It lost much of the Yugoslav market in 1991 after Slovenia declared independence and the resulting Ten-Day War, although sales rebounded during the 1990s.
