Mouais (French pronunciation: [mwɛ] ⓘ; Gallo: Móaè, pronounced [mwə]; Breton: Lanvoe) is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.
It is possible that the toponym comes from the hagionym Moë, an obscure Breton saint.
The town is located on the northern edge of the department, on the right bank of the river Chère, which forms most of its southern border.
