Libáň is a town in Jičín District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,900 inhabitants.

The villages of Kozodírky, Křešice, Psinice and Zliv are administrative parts of Libáň.

The name is derived from the personal name Liban, meaning "Liban's (court)".

Libáň is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) southwest of Jičín and 59 km (37 mi) northeast of Prague. It lies mostly in the Central Elbe Table. The northeastern part of the municipal territory belongs to the Jičín Uplands and includes the highest point of Libáň at 323 m (1,060 ft) above sea level. The stream of Libáňský potok flows through the town. There are several fishponds around the town; the largest of them is Stejskal.

The first written mention of Libáň is from 1340, when it was already referred to as a town. It belonged to the Staré Hrady estate and shared its owners. Libáň later lost the town status, but in 1574, it was again promoted to a town by Emperor Maximilian II.
