Beynat (; ) is a commune of the Corrèze department in central France.
==History== The commune was found to have been inhabited during the Merovingian period with discovery of coinage from that period. During the end of the Carolingian period, the 900s, a viguerie controlled the commune. By the 1200s, the commune was under the control of the Viscounts of Turenne with a castle near the church. A military commandery, the Order of Malta settled at the Puy de Noix.
