Duggingen is a municipality in the district of Laufen in the canton of Basel-Country in Switzerland.

==History== Duggingen is first mentioned around 1330 as Tuggingen. However, archaeological findings prove that the area was already settled during the Roman era. Duggingen belonged to the lordship of Pfeffingen and thus to the Diocese of Basel. The fief was held from 1330 by the knights Jakob and Johannes von Hofstetten; additionally, several liege lords were appointed by the bishop: the lords of Bärenfels, Angenstein, and Thierstein, as well as temporarily Heinrich von Ostheim, a servant of Count Heinrich von Thierstein. In 1815, following a decision by the Congress of Vienna, the municipality was assigned to the Canton of Bern. Regarding the question of the Laufen Valley's (Laufental) change of canton, the municipality rejected joining the Canton of Basel-Landschaft during the first referendum in 1983, but approved it six years later. The official transition took place in 1994.
