Senones ( French pronunciation: [sənɔn] ) is a commune in the Vosges department in Grand Est in northeastern France. It is the location of the former Senones Abbey, founded around 640. The belltower of the abbey church dates from the 12th century; most of the other surviving buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Until 1793, Senones was the capital of the Principality of Salm-Salm. The journalist and writer Pierre Humbourg (1901–1969), winner of the 1948 Prix Cazes, was born in Senones.
