Coudoux is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France.
It is 17 km (11 mi) away from Aix-en-Provence, 20 km (12 mi) away from Salon-de-Provence, and nearly 40 km (25 mi) away from Marseille. As for villages, it is 3 km (1.9 mi) away from Velaux, 4 km (2.5 mi) away from La Fare-les-Oliviers, 5 km (3.1 mi) away from Ventabren and about 10 km (6.2 mi) away from Éguilles.
As early as the 16th century, there were two hamlets, "Petit Coudoux" (Small Coudoux) and "Grand Coudoux" (Big Coudoux). However, these were affiliated to Ventabren and it was only in 1950 that Coudoux was made a village in its own right.
