'''Trégor''' ({{IPA|fr|tʁeɡɔʁ}}; {{langx|br|Treger}}, {{IPA-br|ˈtreːɡər|}}), officially the '''Land of Trégor''' ({{langx|fr|pays du Trégor|link=no}}; {{langx|br|Bro-Dreger|link=no}}, {{IPA-br|broˈdreːɡər|}}) is one of the nine traditional provinces of [[Brittany]], in its northwestern area. It comprises the western part of the [[Côtes-d'Armor]] and a small part of the northeast of [[Finistère]], as far as the river [[Morlaix]]. Its capital is [[Tréguier]], the French translation of the Breton word ''Landreger'' (from ''lann'', holy place, and ''Dreger'', ''Treger'' with consonitic mutation, meaning Tregor).

Since the Morlaix was the boundary between the [[Bishopric of Léon]] and the [[Bishopric of Tréguier]], the town was divided between the two.
On 27 January 1790, after the [[French Revolution]], the Breton deputies rejected the request by the residents of Morlaix to be integrated in the same department as [[Saint-Brieuc]]. They instead established the northern boundary of the department at the [[Douron]]. So was constituted by division of the diocese of Tréguier, a Trégor which is called Finisterrian or Morlaisian. Traditionally, Tregorrois Breton is spoken here, which shows some dialectal differences.
