Auce (pronunciationⓘ; Lithuanian: Aukė, Aucė; German: Alt-Autz) is a town in Dobele Municipality, in the Semigallia region of Latvia.

In 1616, the Old Auce (German: Alt-Autz) manor is mentioned for the first time when there was a regional assembly that was held (landtag) of the Duchy of Courland.

From 1768 until the Latvian agrarian reforms in the 1920s, the Old Auce manor was property of the Baltic German von Medem family.

The Germans established an aviation school and airfield (Artillerie-Fliegerschule Ost I) nearby.

In 1920, Old Auce manor was nationalised, and it became the property of the University of Latvia, to be used as a teaching farm for students of agriculture.
