The Commune of Laglio is a small municipality at the south western end of the Lake Como, Como Province, Italy. It has 888 inhabitants and an area of 6 km².

For many English speakers, Laglio was put on the map in 2002, when the actor George Clooney settled down there. In June 2007, Clooney expressed opposition to a planned council development of the lakefront near his villa, and hosted a meeting of a local protest committee also opposed to the development.[1]
