'''Conflent''' ({{IPA|fr|kɔ̃flɑ̃}}; {{IPA|ca|kumˈflen}}) is a [[Comarques of Catalonia|historical Catalan comarca]] of [[Northern Catalonia]], now part of the French  [[Departments of France|department]] of [[Pyrénées-Orientales]]. In the [[Middle Ages]] it comprised the [[County of Conflent]]. 

The capital of this ''pays'' is [[Prades, Pyrénées-Orientales|Prades]] ({{langx|ca|Prada de Conflent}}), and it borders the ''pays'' of [[Capcir]], [[Rosselló (comarca)|Rosselló]], [[Vallespir]], [[French Cerdagne|Alta Cerdanya]] and [[Ripollès]], and the [[Occitan language|Occitan]]-speaking [[pays (France)|pays]] of [[Fenolleda]].
It roughly corresponds to the valley of the [[Têt River]] ({{langx|ca|Tet}}) and its neighbourhoods between [[Rodès]] and [[Mont-Louis]] ({{langx|ca|Montlluís}}). Conflent is dominated by the [[Canigou]] ({{langx|ca|Canigó}}) mountain.
