Fréhel (1,602 inhabitants in 2020; 1,891 ha) is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in northwestern France.
This commune was previously named Pléhérel. Between 1972 and 2004, the commune of Plévenon was merged with Pléhérel and the combination of the two took the name of Fréhel, drawn from the name of Cape Fréhel. However, in 2004, Plévenon became once again a distinct commune, while Pléhérel retained the name of the commune of Fréhel.
The seaside resort of Sables-d'Or-les-Pins is part of Fréhel; it was created in the 1920s on the dunes along the great shore of Minieu, between Pléhérel Plage and Plurien.
