Saint-Maurice, or Saint-Maurice-en-Valais, is a municipality and district capital of the district of Saint-Maurice in the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is the site of the Roman outpost of Agaunum and the mediaeval St. Maurice's Abbey, which has become a famous high school in Switzerland ("Collège de Saint-Maurice").
Saint-Maurice used to be an important military place (arsenal) and the location of fortifications in Savatan.
It is not to be confused with St. Moritz, the resort in the Grisons (East part of Switzerland).
