Lauh kutukan (bahasa Latin: tabella defixionis, defixio; bahasa Yunani: κατάδεσμος katadesmos) adalah sebuah lauh kecil dengan kutukan yang tertulis di atasnya. Lauh ini digunakan untuk meminta dewa-dewi, penunggu suatu tempat, atau roh orang mati untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap seseorang atau suatu objek, atau bahkan menjatuhkan kutukan kepada seseorang.
Lauh kutukan umumnya terbuat dari timbal dan merupakan helaian yang sangat tipis. Lauh ini sering kali digulung, dilipat, atau dipaku. Lauh ini kemudian dapat dimasukkan ke dalam makam, dilempar ke sumur atau kolam, disembunyikan di ruang bawah tanah, atau dipaku di tembok kuil. Lauh-lauh ini juga kadang berisi mantra-mantra cinta, dan jika dipakai untuk tujuan ini lauh ini biasanya ditempatkan di rumah orang yang menjadi sasaran.[1]
