Arbigny (in French pronounced as /aʁbiɲi/) is a commune in the Ain department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of eastern France.
Arbigny is some 20 km north of Mâcon and 40 km south by south-east of Chalon-sur-Saône. The commune can be accessed by the D933 from Sermoyer in the north passing through the centre of the commune and village and continuing south to Pont-de-Vaux. The D126 runs west from the village changing to the D163 at the border of the commune and continuing to Uchizy. There are two other hamlets in the commune - La Croix and La Varenne. About 80% of the commune is farmland with the rest being the forested eastern part.[2]
The western border of the commune is formed by the Saône river. In the north and east there are ponds which are drained by the Biel d'Etang Neuf and the Biel d'Etang Butière which flow west to the Saône.[2]
The area has been occupied since prehistoric times. The village was known as Albiniacus in the Middle Ages.
