Bovegno is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy. It borders the communes of Artogne, Berzo Inferiore, Bienno, Collio, Esine, Gianico, Irma, Marmentino and Pezzaze. It is pronounced Bòvegno (Böegn in the local Eastern Lombard dialect). It is located in the valley named Val Trompia.

The Brescian poet Angelo Canossi spent the last years of his life here, mainly at Cà dele Bàchere (now a national monument), in Val Sorda.
