'''Cajarc''' ({{IPA|fr|kaʒaʁ}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the [[Lot (department)|Lot]] [[Departments of France|department]], [[Occitania (administrative region)|Occitania]], [[France]].

It is a stopping place on the [[Via Podiensis|Via podiensis]], the medieval pilgrimage route from [[Le Puy-en-Velay]] to [[Santiago de Compostela]], but also attracts tourists on account of its medieval town centre, its ''plan d'eau'', a 4&nbsp;km-long dammed section of the river [[Lot (river)|Lot]], and its beautiful setting in the Lot valley and the surrounding limestone plains (''le causse''). Its major cultural event is ''Africajarc'', a four-day festival of contemporary African music and culture which runs in the last week of July each year; in 2008 it celebrated its tenth anniversary.
