Audincourt (in French pronounced as /odɛ̃kuʁ/) is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.
Audincourt belonged to the County of Montbéliard which became part of France in 1793, during the French Revolutionary Wars.
An iron foundry was established early in the nineteenth century to refine the ore from the rich mines near Bethoncourt.
