Bouligneux (pronounced as /fr/; frp|Bolegniô) is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France, in Dombes, within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
The Chalaronne forms most of the commune's eastern border.
Bouligneux first appears as vicus Beliniacum in 885, in a document of Charles III.
On 28 March 944 Hugues, son or Bermund, Lord of Bouligneux and Gisèle, signed a document renouncing any claims on Thoissey, in favor of Adémar, Viscount of Lyon.[2]
In 1280, it belonged to Vaucher de Commarin, who sold it to Henri de Villars in 1290.
In 1402, Bouligneux was part of Bresse Savoyarde.
In the 17th century, Bouligneux was a county.
