La Canourgue (French pronunciation: [la kanuʁɡ]; Occitan: La Canorga) is a commune in the Lozère department in southern France.[3] In 1973 it absorbed three former communes: Auxillac, La Capelle and Montjézieu.[4] It is sometimes referred to in French as "La petite Venise lozérienne", the Little Venice of Lozère.

The commune served as a location for the 2006 film A Good Year.[5]
