Chamborigaud (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃bɔʁiɡo]; Occitan: Chambonrigaud) is a commune in the Gard department in southern France.

The village is known for its stunning railway viaduct, designed by Charles Dombre, the construction of which ended in 1867. Unlike most other bridges of this type, the curve of the Viaduct of Chamborigaud faces upstream.

The road bridge crossing Luech river has collapsed in March 2024. ^[3] One of the bridge's arches collapsed under the weight of a street-sweeper lorry. Road D906 between Langogne and Alès was left interrupted, which could have damaged the tourism industry in and around Chamborigaud. A temporary bridge has been installed downstream of the collapsed bridge and was opened in May 2024. ^[4]
