Avanne-Aveney (French pronunciation: [avan avnɛ]) is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France.

The west and the east of the commune have extensive forests and the two villages have a substantial urban area leaving a small amount of land as farmland.

According to some linguists Avanne takes its name from the Latin avena meaning "oats" and, by extension, poor ground.

The occupation of the site in Gallo-Roman times is attested by the discovery of remains of a building in the north of the commune on Rue des Combots when the construction of the Grands Prés housing estate in the 1970s was finished.

Guy d'Avanne had already affixed his name to the donation made by Archbishop Hugh III to the Church of Sainte-Madeleine of Besançon in 1092.

[5] Hugues d'Avanne, knight, gave a meix[Note 1] located at the village of Estu to the abbey of Saint-Paul de Besançon.

Jean d'Avanne, knight, in 1246 approved the donation of the Charmont kiln made to the Chapter of Sainte-Madeleine by his brother.
