Lakinsk (Russian: Лакинск) is a town in Sobinsky District of Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Klyazma River, 32 kilometers (20 mi) southwest of Vladimir. Population: 15,715 (2010 Census);[1] 17,086 (2002 Census);[2] 18,918 (1989 Census).[3]

Lakinsk grew out of the village Undol (Ундол), which was in the same area as the modern town and is documented as far back as the end of the 15th century. In 1889, a spinning-and-weaving factory was opened near the village. As the factory developed, the village also grew. In 1927, Undol was granted work settlement status and renamed Lakinsky (Лакинский) after the local party leader. It was granted town status and renamed Lakinsk in 1969.
