Lamay is an ancient Maya architectural complex forming part of the larger Dzibanche settlement in southern Quintana Roo, Mexico, about 1.1 km northwest of the main group. The complex features a large, high platform base supporting several multi-chambered buildings, with the main building dividing others between two terraces. During the Early Classic period, temples and elite residences were constructed at Lamay as Dzibanche became a major political center linked to the Kaanu'l (Serpent Kings) dynasty. The complexes are connected by sacbeob causeways up to 2.5 km long.
