Loudenvielle (French pronunciation: [ludɑ̃vjɛl]; Occitan: Lodenvièla) is a commune in the Hautes-Pyrénées department in south-western France.[3] On 1 January 2016, the former commune Armenteule was merged into Loudenvielle.[4]

Its inhabitants are called Loudenviellois.

Located in the Louron Valley, Loudenvielle is a popular tourist resort, with a lake, campsite, thermal spa and waterpark. It is also the closest town to the Peyragudes and Val-Louron ski resorts.

It is situated at the foot of the Col de Peyresourde and has hosted three stage finishes in the Tour de France, including the finish of Stage 15 in 2007.
