Plouhinec (French pronunciation: [pluinɛk]; Breton: Ploeneg) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.
The commune lies on the road from Pont-l'Abbé to Audierne.
Landmarks in the town include the Saint-Winoc Church, which dates from the sixteenth century, and the scenic, small natural port of the borough of Pors-Poulhan. Its smooth white-sand beaches with their light surf are ideal for families with children.
The village contains sculptures by locally born artist René Quillivic.
