Lafayette Township is a Township located in the Skylands Region of Sussex County, New Jersey. As of the 2000 United States Census, the township's population was 2,538.[1]

Lafayette was formed as a Township based on an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 14, 1845, from part of Frankford Township and Newton Township, based on the results of a referendum held that same day. The Township was named after the Marquis de Lafayette (1757–1834), the French general and statesman who served in the Continental Army (1777–81) during the American Revolutionary War.

It is crossed by Route 15 and Route 94.
