Sahagún is a town in the province of León, Spain. It is the main town of the Leonese section of the Tierra de Campos district.
Sahagún is notable for containing some of the earliest examples of the mudéjar style of architecture. It lies on the Way of St. James.
The initial town arose due to the adjacent Benedictine monastery consecrated to the saints Facundus and Primitivus. The name Sahagún putatively derives from an abbreviation and variation on the name San Fagun ("Saint Facundus").
