Saint-Rambert-en-Bugey is a commune in the Ain department in eastern France.
The commune takes its name from St Rambert (or Ragnebert) who was assassinated here in the 7th century. The site soon became popular for pilgrimage and an influential abbey was built in the town.
The river Albarine flows southwest through the commune.
