Auvernier () is a village in the district of Boudry in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. The municipalities of Auvernier, Bôle and Colombier merged on 1 January 2013 into the new municipality of Milvignes.
==History== Settlement has flourished since the Bronze Age in the vicinity of Auvernier, as evidenced by the large amount of material excavated by archaeologists, some of which is now in the British Museum, including a hoard of penannular bracelets and armlets with geometric decoration. Auvernier is first mentioned in 1011 as Averniacum. The municipality was formerly known by its German name Avernach, however, that name is no longer used.
