Aubange (German: Ibingen, Luxembourgish: Éibeng, Walloon: Åbindje) is a Walloon municipality of Belgium located in the Province of Luxembourg.

On 1 January 2012 the municipality, which covers 45.6 km², had 16,042 inhabitants, giving a population density of 330.9 inhabitants per km². It is the third municipality of the Province of Luxembourg regarding the number of inhabitants but it is also among the smallest ones in terms of area.

The municipality is French-speaking but most of which falls within the Luxembourgish-speaking Arelerland, adjoins the tripoint where the borders of Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and France meet.

Aubange was a municipality itself before the reorganization of the Belgian municipalities in 1977. At that time, it was amalgamated with Athus, Halanzy and Rachecourt to become what exists today. Even though the new municipality took the name Aubange, the biggest place is Athus and it is where most of the services and official buildings are, like the townhall, the police station, the fire station, the post office, etc.

Aubange is located in the Lorraine region in the south of Belgium just next to France and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The municipality consists of the following sub-municipalities: Aubange proper, Athus, Halanzy, and Rachecourt.

Other population centers include: Aix-sur-Cloie, Battincourt, and Guerlange.
