Lahstedt (German pronunciation: [ˈlaːʃtɛt]) is a former municipality in the district of Peine, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It was situated approximately 11 km south of Peine, and 20 km west of Braunschweig.
Lahstedt was formed on 1 February 1971 by merging the five villages of Adenstedt, Gadenstedt, Groß Lafferde, Münstedt and Oberg. "Lahstedt" itself was an artificial name, but not a population centre. Since 1 January 2015 its subdivisions are part of the municipality Ilsede.
