Saint-André-le-Bouchoux (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃.t‿ɑ̃dʁe buʃu]; Arpitan: Lo Bouchox [ bu.ˈθo]) is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France.

The river Irance flows through the town.

In 1836, the community was considered one of the poorest in France. It has gained wealth since, though. Today, most of the town revolves around restaurants, farms, and crafts.
