Llofriu (name of Germanic origin) is an aggregate of the town of Palafrugell (Baix Empordà), in Catalonia, Spain. As of 2005, it has 294 inhabitants. The parish church of St. Fruitós, as mentioned in a testament from 1121, was dependent on the priory of Santa Anna of Barcelona until the seizure (first third of the nineteenth century).
The economy is based primarily on agriculture and livestock, although the majority of its people work today in Palafrugell, the service sector.
The Church of Saint Fructuosus of Llofriu. The current edifice, dating from the 17th century, was rebuilt in an old Romanesque-style, of which only a group of pieces of iron in the door remain.

The church was sacked in 1638 by Spanish soldiers in retaliation for a revolt in Palafrugell.
