Nalut (sometimes Nālūt, Lalút) (Arabic: نالوت‎) is the capital of Nalut District in Libya and is home to a Berber granary and community.
Nalut lies approximately half way between Tripoli and Ghadames, at the western end of the Nafusa Mountains coastal range, in the Tripolitania region.
Nalut is home to the Ksar Nalut, Nalut's oldest ksour, and the Alal'a Mosque (Nalut's oldest), which was rebuilt in 1312 CE.
A monument to Colonel Gaddafi's Green Book in the town square was demolished during the 2011 Libyan civil war.
A report in late April 2011 described how "Radio Free Nalut" had begun broadcasting in the city "this week". It is one of several rebel-controlled radio stations to have started during the civil war and broadcasts in the Berber (Tamazight) language.
