Lány is a municipality and village in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,200 inhabitants. It lies 35 km (22 mi) west of Prague, outside the main road towards Karlovy Vary. Lány is well known for the Lány Castle.
Until 1918, the village was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Schlan (Slaný) district, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften (district office) in Bohemia. A post-office was opened in 1869.
The second oldest horse-drawn iron wagonway in continental Europe operated between Prague and Lány (originally planned to reach Plzeň) from 1830 until 1869. Its final station was in present-day forester's lodge of Píně.
