Colombey-les-Deux-Églises (literally Colombey the Two Churches) is a commune in the Haute-Marne department in north-eastern France. It is best known as the home of Charles de Gaulle.

The municipality of Colombey-les-Deux-Églises was created administratively in 1793, and it became part of the district of Chaumont and the canton of Blaise. In 1801, under the name Colombey, it passed to the canton Juzennecourt. In 1972, it absorbed the communes Argentolles, Biernes, Blaise, Champcourt, Harricourt, Pratz and Lavilleneuve-aux-Fresnes.
