The municipality of Plouigneau (Breton, Plouigno; 5,082 inhabitants in 2020; 6,482 ha) is a commune in the Finistère department.

Plouigneau has merged in 2019 with the commune of Le Ponthou (200 inhabitants). Plouigneau owes its name to Saint Ignace, a British Cornish monk who had crossed the Channel in the 6th century to settle on Breton coasts.

Plouigneau reportedly dates back to the 6th century. The parish (Breton, "plou") was first mentioned in the 11th century, as parochia Iunau, in St. Tugdual's Vita, and, subsequently, as Ploeigneau (c. 1330) and Plouigneau (1427). The parish is dedicated to its alleged, founder, St. Gwiniau / Winniavus / Igneau / Uniac / Winnoc. Poorly documented, the saint is invoked in Plouigneau for protection against thunder.
