Allemagne-en-Provence ( _fr. Germany-in-Provence) is a commune in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department in southeastern France.

Unlike the other French town called Allemagne, which changed its name to Fleury-sur-Orne in 1916 during World War I, Allemagne-en-Provence kept its name.

The inhabitants are called "Armagnois" / "Allemagniens" (not "Allemands" _fr. Germans).

The town is situated north of Verdon River, about half way between Manosque and the Lac de Sainte-Croix, the largest reservoir in France, which forms the western end of the Verdon Gorge.
