Venelles (French pronunciation: [vənɛl]; Occitan: Venèla) is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France near Aix-en-Provence.

The current mayor is Arnaud Mercier.

It was then destroyed by the Lombards in 574 AD, and again in the 11th century by the Saracens.

In the 15th century, the land was finally re-settled.
