Laidley is a town (pop. 2,858) situated in the Lockyer Valley of South East Queensland, Australia. The township lies 83 km west of Brisbane, the state capital.

The local industry is dominated by agriculture. Laidley has long regarded itself as "Queensland's Country Garden". Fruit and vegetable production features prominently, with the majority of beetroot grown in Australia coming from the Laidley district.

Allan Cunningham first explored the area in 1829. Cunningham named it Laidley's Plain after the Deputy Commissary General of the colony of New South Wales.
