Laing's Nek, or Lang's Nek is a pass through the Drakensberg, South Africa, immediately north of Majuba, at {{coord|27|27|39|S|29|52|10|E|type:mountain|display=inline,title}} at an elevation of 5400 to {{convert|6000|ft|m|abbr=on}}. It is the lowest part of a ridge which slopes from Majuba to the Buffalo River, and before the opening of the railway in 1891 the road over the nek was the main artery of communication between Durban and Pretoria. The railway crosses the pass via a {{convert|2213|ft|m|abbr=on}}. long tunnel.

When the Boers rose in revolt in December 1880 they occupied Laing's Nek to oppose the entry of British reinforcements into the Transvaal. On 28 January 1881 a small British force endeavoured to drive the Boers from the pass, but was forced to retire after the Battle of Laing's Nek.
