Lalevade-d'Ardèche (French pronunciation: [lalvad daʁdɛʃ]; Occitan: La Levada d'Ardecha) is a commune in the Ardèche department in southern France.

It is the commune with the smallest area in the department.

In the 19th century, the commune was an active industrial center, with coal mines and tanneries. Today, the economy is dominated by tourism.

The population has remained relatively stable since 1903, when it ceded part of its territory to the new commune Pont-de-Labeaume.
