Gottne is a locality situated in Örnsköldsvik Municipality, Västernorrland County, Sweden. It had 218 inhabitants in 2010.
Gottne has very old origins, among other things, arrowheads of flint have been found that probably dates back to the Neolithic Times (about 3,000 years before Christ).
A few kilometers west of Gottne, there was a railway station along the Main Line Through Upper Norrland, Gottne Station, where a settlement grew. However, this expansion was discontinued when the station was closed down in 1963. The area around the former station is now known as Västra Gottne.
In recent years, Gottne has become a Population declining area (sv|Avfolkningsbygd).
