Lamač (German: Blumenau/Lamatsch, Hungarian: Lamacs) is the smallest borough of Bratislava, and part of the Bratislava IV district.

The first written record of the german settlement dates to 1240. The German village was destroyed during the first siege of vienna by turkish troops. Croats fleeing from the Ottomans in the south settled this area in the 16th century. The final battle of the Austro-Prussian War took place on 22 July 1866 and burned down the village.

Until 1946, Lamač was an independent village, but since then has been an official borough of Bratislava.

In the past, Lamač was known for its vineyards and as an agricultural and fruit supplier for Bratislava's markets.
