Doué-la-Fontaine (French pronunciation: [dwe la fɔ̃tɛn] ⓘ) is a former commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France.

The foundations of a 6th-century circular baptistery beside the natural springs has been uncovered beneath the ruins of the pre-Romanesque church of Saint-Léger, itself destroyed in the 17th century.

In his villa here, Theoduadum palatium, Louis the Pious was informed of the death of his father Charlemagne in 814 and hurried to Aachen to be crowned.

The villa was turned into a motte in the 10th century, around which the village developed, in part in excavated troglodyte dwellings.

In 1793, Doué-la-Fontaine was the site of massacres during the counter-Revolutionary Revolt in the Vendée, suppressed by General Santerre.
