'Lāie' is a community and a census-designated place (CDP) located in the Koolauloa District on the Island of Oahu, City & County of Honolulu. In Hawaiian, ''lāie'' means "''ie'' leaf" (''ie'' is a climbing pandanus: ''Freycinetia arborea''). Lāie is the largest town in the district with a total population of 4,585 according to the 2000 Census.
Lāie is one of the largest communities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the site of the Lāie Hawaii Temple, the fifth oldest Mormon temple in the world. Brigham Young University Hawaii is located in Lāie. The university's Polynesian Cultural Center, the state's largest living museum, draws millions of visitors annually.
Though small, Lāie has had a signficant impact on Hawaiian culture. Fundraisers and feasts on the beach in the late 1940s inspired "The Hukilau Song," written, composed and originally recorded by Jack Owens, The Cruising Crooner, and made famous by Alfred Apaka. In addition, the "Shaka sign" now commonly associated with Hawaii was born in Lāie, in honor of Hamana Kalili, a respected local leader who had lost the index, middle and ring fingers of his right hand. In a twist of fate, Kalili provided the fishing nets used in the early hukilau gatherings, including the one which led to the song. Those gatherings led to the founding of the Polynesian Cultural Center in 1963.

The coastline is marked by a prominent lithified dune jutting out into the ocean as 'Lāie Point' (also known as 'Laniloa Point', the elevated land formation with Lāie Pt. at its tip). Two other lithified dunes (Kukuihoolua and Mokuālai) lie just offshore of the point as scenic islets.
