Bouligneux (French pronunciation: [buliɲø]; Arpitan: Bolegniô) is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France, in Dombes, within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

The Chalaronne forms most of the commune's eastern border.

Bouligneux first appears as vicus Beliniacum in 885, in a document of Charles III.

On 28 March 944 Hugues, son or Bermund, Lord of Bouligneux and Gisèle, signed a document renouncing any claims on Thoissey, in favor of Adémar, Viscount of Lyon.
