Betoño (Basque: Betoñu) is a village in Álava, Basque Country, Spain. It is located to the north-east of the Vitoria-Gasteiz city center.

Betoño gives its name to a nearby industrial estate which contains a large Michelin tyre factory,[2] and to Betoño Sports Complex, used for training and matches by many of the football clubs in the area, including the local professional club Deportivo Alavés.[3] The Salburua wetlands and the Fernando Buesa Arena (Saski Baskonia basketball team) lie to the east of Betoño.
