Almont-les-Junies (French pronunciation: [almɔ̃ le ʒyni]; Occitan: Las Juniás) is a commune in the Aveyron department in the Occitanie region of southern France.

Almont-les-Junies is located some 20 km east of Figeac and 40 km north-east of Rodez. The commune can be accessed by road D508 which runs east from Flagnac through the commune and changes to road D606 before exiting east and forming the south-eastern border as it runs south-east to Noailhac. The D183 road also runs through the south of the commune running west to east. The village can be reached by a number of country roads which cover most of the commune. The most direct perhaps is the Graville-et-Courbies road which runs south from the D508.^[3]

The commune contains both large areas of farmland as well as mountain slopes with forests.

There are many streams in the commune - the southern border is marked by the Rousseau de Limou which flows into the Lot river just west of the commune. The Lot river itself also forms the northern border of the commune and all of the many streams flow into this river.

There are a number of hamlets and villages in the commune. These are:

• Aumont
• Ginouilhac
• La Mole Haute
• La Plane
• Laval
• Le Fau
• Les Clementies
• L'Hom
• Mazac
• Sainte Catherine

In March 1993, the town of Almon-les-Junies was renamed Almont-les-Junies with a "t" to be closer to the Latin root of Almontis.^[4] Road signs in the area remained unchanged for some years.
