Capdenac (French pronunciation: [kapdənak]) is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France.
It has been inhabited since prehistoric times. At one time Capdenac was thought to be identifiable as the Gaulish settlement of Uxellodunum which was besieged by Julius Caesar,[3] but this theory has been discredited.[4]
