Le Truel (French pronunciation: [lə tʁyɛl]; Occitan: Lo Truèlh) is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.

The village was in the ancient province of Rouergue where they spoke in the rouergat patois of Occitan.

The hamlets to the north have commanding views of the Cevennes and the Millau Viaduct, which is 20 miles (32 km) to the west.

The D200 runs alongside the Tarn which has been dammed and provides the power for two hydro-electric generating plants, Jourdanie and Le Pouget.

[3] Adjacent to the Barrage du Truel at 275 metres, is the Le Pouget power station.
