Broquiès (; ) is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.
==Geography== The commune is in the Raspes de Tarn; on both banks of the river Tarn. The village is on the north bank where the land rises steeply from the Tarn () to the Lévézou plateau (). On each side of the village are streams that have cut deep valley. An strategically important road from Saint-Izaire and Saint-Affrique crosses the Tarn at le Navech, and uses the valley to the east to zig-zag upwards through Vieux Broquies to the promontory(- ) where the main village is located. Here the road heads along the valley side to Rodez, Le Truel and Villefranche-de-Panat. On the south bank the Dourdou de Camarès flows into the Tarn.
