Chauvigny (French pronunciation: [ʃoviɲi]; Poitevin: Chôvigni) is a commune in the Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.

Chauvigny is located 20 miles (32 km) east of Poitiers by rail.

The town is situated overlooking the river Vienne and a small brook.

Chauvigny was among the places visited by Roger Fry the British artist, art critic and member of the Bloomsbury group in October 1911 when, after his visit to Paris to see the Salon d’Automne, he joined Clive Bell (husband of the celebrated English artist Vanessa Bell) and Duncan Grant (also a celebrated English artist) on a bicycle tour of the region to explore Romanesque churches.

[4] Near Chauvigny is the curious bone-cavern of Jioux, the entrance to which is fortified by large blocks of stone.
