Bergün/Bravuogn (German: Bergün, Romansh: 
Bravuogn , in the local Romansh dialect Brauégn) is a municipality in the district of Albula in the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. The double name (German/Romansh) has been the official name since 1943.
Bergün/Bravuogn is first mentioned in 1209 as de Bregonio.
Bergün/Bravuogn has an area, as of 2006[update], of 145.6 km2 (56.2 sq mi). Of this area, 21.4% is used for agricultural purposes, while 20.4% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.8% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (57.5%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).
The municipality is located in the Bergün sub-district of the Albula district. It is located on the Albula river and along the Albula pass road.
It consists of the linear village of Bergün/Bravuogn and the settlements of Latsch (on the right side terrace above the river) and Stugl/Stuls. Latsch joined the municipality in 1912 and Stugl/Stuls joined in 1920. From Stugl/Stuls towards Albula pass the settlement of Preda can be found which became a temporary village when the Albula railway tunnel was built between 1898 and 1903. Lai da Palpuogna, a mountain lake, is located between Preda and Albula Pass. Until 1943 Bergün/Bravuogn was known as Bergün.
