Candé (French pronunciation: [kɑ̃de] ^ⓘ) is a commune in the Maine-et-Loire department in western France.

In the 11th century the village became an important military site for Anjou under baron Rorgon de Candé, at Fort-Castle of Candé.

Candé was noted in 2000-2001 as the residence of Marie Bremont, then the world's oldest person, who died at age 115.

Candé comes from the a Celtic word condate which means confluence. There are two other villages in France with similar names:
