  We derive the Lagrangians of the higher-order Painlev\'e equations using
Jacobi's last multiplier technique. Some of these higher-order differential
equations display certain remarkable properties like passing the Painlev\'e
test and satisfy the conditions stated by Jur\'a$\check{s}$, (Acta Appl. Math.
66 (2001) 25--39), thus allowing for a Lagrangian description.
