Villedaigne (in French pronounced as /vildɛɲ/; Occitan (post 1500);: Viladanha) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France, about 15 kilometres from Narbonne.
The village lies on the left bank of the Orbieu, which forms all of the commune's eastern border.
William of Gellone was defeated not far from Villedaigne in a battle with the Cordoban Muslim army led by Abd al-Malik ibn Abd al-Wahid ibn Mughith on his approach to Carcassonne. The expedition did not advance deeper into Carolingian territory.
