Tusson () is a commune in the Charente department in southwestern France.
It is the site of four large Neolithic tumuli, known as the Gros Dognon, the Petit Dognon, the Vieux Breuil and La Justice. Marguerite de Navarre spent time in the priory in the village, built by Robert d'Abrissel in the 12th century as an offshoot of the Abbey of Fontevraud. The village grew up subsequently around the religious establishment.
