Mognéville (French pronunciation: [mɔɲevil]) is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

On 29 August 1944, the 3rd Panzergenadier Division of the German Wehrmacht massacred 86 inhabitants of this and the three neighboring villages of Beurey-sur-Saulx, Couvonges and Robert-Espagne. This is also referred to as the Massacre de la vallée de la Saulx.
