The Vologne is a river of the Vosges department in France. It is tributary of the Moselle River. Its source is in the Vosges Mountains, on the northwestern slope of the Hohneck. It flows through the lakes of Retournemer and Longemer, and passes the villages of Xonrupt-Longemer, Granges-sur-Vologne, Lépanges-sur-Vologne and Docelles, finally flowing into the Moselle in Pouxeux.

The Vologne flows through the lakes of Retournemer and lac de Longemer before receiving the Jamagne, a spillway of lake Gérardmer. It flows by Granges-sur-Vologne, receives the Corbeline, the Neuné (south of Bruyères) and the Barba at Docelles, then flows into the Moselle at Jarménil, 10 km upstream of Épinal. It is 50 kilometres (31 mi) long and its drainage basin has an area of 369 square kilometres (142 sq mi).

The Vologne is a substantial river, as a result of its neighbours in the region of the Vosges Mountains. Its flow rate has been observed for a period of 40 years at Cheniménil, a locality in the Vosges department situated slightly before its confluence with the Moselle. The river's watershed at that point is 355 square kilometres (137 sq mi), almost the entire watershed, which is 369 square kilometres (142 sq mi).
