Schönenbuch (Swiss German: Schönebuech) is a municipality in the district of Arlesheim in the canton of Basel-Landschaft in Switzerland.
Schönenbuch is first mentioned in 1315 as Schoenenbuoch. It became an independent municipality in 1816.

Of this area, 0.89 km2 (0.34 sq mi) or 65.4% is used for agricultural purposes, while 0.02 km2 (0.0077 sq mi) or 1.5% is forested. Of the rest of the land, 0.42 km2 (0.16 sq mi) or 30.9% is settled (buildings or roads).
Of the built up area, industrial buildings made up 2.9% of the total area while housing and buildings made up 19.9% and transportation infrastructure made up 7.4%. Out of the forested land, all of the forested land area is covered with heavy forests. Of the agricultural land, 47.1% is used for growing crops and 7.4% is pastures, while 11.0% is used for orchards or vine crops.
The municipality is located in the Arlesheim district, on the edge of the Sundgau and bordered by France on three sides. It is at an elevation of 355 m (1,165 ft) above sea level and is the second smallest municipality in the canton of Basel-Country. The village is enclosed on three sides by France (municipalities Neuwiller and Hagenthal-le-Bas). Only in the northeast does it have a connection to the town of Allschwil.
It consists of the haufendorf village (an irregular, unplanned and quite closely packed village, built around a central square) of Schönenbuch.
The blazon of the municipal coat of arms is Argent, a Tree Gules issuant from Coupeaux Vert.
