Lagrangian foliation is a concept that arises in the field of symplectic geometry, which is a branch of differential geometry and mathematics concerned with structures that allow for a generalization of classical mechanics. In this context, a foliation is a decomposition of a manifold into a collection of submanifolds, called leaves, which locally look like smaller, simpler pieces of the original manifold.

A foliation of a symplectic manifold is Lagrangian when every leaf has half the ambient dimension and the restricted symplectic form vanishes. The tangent distribution is a real polarization in geometric quantization. Restricted prequantum connections are flat on individual leaves, but nontrivial holonomy can obstruct global parallel sections.
