Pontecurone (Piedmontese: "Poncròu") is a "comune" (municipality) in the Province of Alessandria in the Italian region Piedmont, located on the left bank of the Curone, about 100 km east of Turin and about 25 km east of Alessandria.

Pontecurone borders the following municipalities: Casalnoceto, Casei Gerola, Castelnuovo Scrivia, Rivanazzano, Tortona, Viguzzolo, and Voghera.

In 1635 it was the site of a battle in which Odoardo Farnese, duke of Parma and Piacenza and allied to the French, defeated the Spanish troops under Caspar Azevedo.
