Argoules is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

The commune is situated 23 miles (37 km) north of Abbeville on the D192, on the banks of the Authie River.

Argoules village is next to the Cistercian Abbey of Valloires, founded in the 13th century, then rebuilt in the 18th century. The abbey grounds now contain notable, contemporary gardens (the Jardins de Valloires).
