Gennes is a former commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France.

On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Gennes-Val-de-Loire.

The French casualties, seventeen Cadets of the Cadre Noir Saumur Cavalry school,[3] killed between 17 and 20 June 1940, are buried in the enclosure of the 11th century Saint-Eusèbe church built over an ancient Gallo-Roman sanctuary, on a hilltop overlooking the scene of their sacrifice.

The castle of Milly-le-Meugon, in its vicinity, was the property of the Maillé-Brézé family, closely related to the French royal family through the First Prince of the Blood, Louis de Bourbon, Prince of Condé.
