Ligatne, a town (since 1992) in the Cēsis District, Latvia.

From 1721, Ligatne was part of the Russian Empire. In the 19th–early 20th centuries, it was the village of Ligat in the Riga Uyezd of Livonia Governorate. From 1918 to 1940, it was part of the Republic of Latvia; from 1940 to 1991, part of the Latvian SSR.

In 1930, 11 Jews lived in Ligatne. After the occupation by Wehrmacht forces on 17 July 1941, the Jewish population of Ligatne was executed.
