Bourg-lès-Valence is a commune in the Drôme department in southeastern France. It is a suburb of Valence. The archaeologist and Hellenist Fernand Courby (1878–1932) was born in Bourg-lès-Valence.

Since October 2014, Bourg-lès-Valence is twinned with the town of Shushi (Shusha) of the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, but de jure part of Azerbaijan.
