Pontgibaud (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ʒibo]) is a commune in the Puy-de-Dôme department in Auvergne in central France.

It is located in the Massif Central region of France on the banks of the river Sioule.

The area around the town was historically known for silver and lead mining.

John Ruskin spent October 7, 1840 exploring Pontgibaud.

He reckoned it "Altogether the happiest day, as far as employment or scenery can go, I have had for these long five years".
