Lovelock is the county seat of Pershing County, Nevada, United States, in which it is the only incorporated city.

It is the namesake of a nearby medium-security men's prison and a Cold War-era gunnery range.

Formerly a stop for settlers on their way to California and later a train depot, the town's economy remains based on farming, mining and increasingly on tourism.
