Chignin (French pronunciation: [ʃiɲɛ̃]; Arpitan: Shenyin) is a commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.
The village of Chignin is located between the communes of Les Marches, Montmélian, Saint-Jeoire-Prieuré and Challes-les-Eaux, behind the Monronjoue downs in front of which the route nationale 6 runs.
It is famous for its white wine. Most Chignin is a scented dry white made from the local Jacquere grape variety.
