Gourdon (French pronunciation: [ɡuʁdɔ̃] ⓘ; Occitan: Gordon) is a rural commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France.

In the distant past, this isolated rock was used as a place of refuge and defence.

In former times, it was defended by a simple and harmonious Roman gate, that had been demolished at the beginning of the 20th century.

Thick, high ramparts close off the North side, which is the only point from which the village can be approached.

Certain scenes of Les Misérables (2012) were filmed at Gourdon and in the surrounding area.
