Woe (pronounced Wo-ay)[1] is a small rural town in Ghana's Volta region near the larger town of Keta. Woe's economy relies heavily on fishing.

A notable landmark there is a large lighthouse called Cape St. Paul Lighthouse[2] on the beach that guides ships away from a mythical massive underwater mountain. This lighthouse is also thought to be the oldest in Ghana.[1]

The predominant local language of Woe is Ewe.

In 1962 the population of Woe was 3,450.[3]
