Villeneuve is a town in the Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia.

A section of the northern boundary of Villeneuve follows the D'Aguilar Highway.

The town is named after the railway station, which in turn took its name from Frank Villeneuve Nicholson, owner of the property Villeneuve.

Farming was established at Villeneuve in the late 1870s.

As a result of the creation of the Somerset Dam, much of Villeneuve is now underwater.
