Avigliana (Italian: [aviʎˈʎaːna]; Piedmontese: Vijan-a [viˈjɑŋa]; French: Veillane) is a town and comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Turin in the Piedmont region or Italy, with 12,129 inhabitants as of 1 January 2023.

According to some sources, the battle between the Franks of Pippin the Younger and the Lombards of Aistulf occurred nearby in 750.

Later Avigliana depended on the Abbey of Novalesa, and subsequently, it was a possession of the House of Savoy.

Avigliana was captured by Emperor Henry VI in 1187, but later it was acquired by Thomas I of Savoy.

French attacks repeated in 1630 and 1690, the latter ending with the destruction of the castle.
