Cantigny (pronounced as /fr/; Picard: Cantegny) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
During World War I, a battle liberated the town from German forces. Major General Robert Lee Bullard commanded the US First Division in the United States' first victory of the war. About 10 years later, Colonel Robert R. McCormick named his estate in Illinois after the town.
Cantigny is situated on the D28 road, some 20miles southeast of Amiens.
