Il Morvan (dal celtico Mar: nero e Vand: montagna) è un massiccio montagnoso francese in Borgogna, ai confini dei dipartimenti dell'Yonne, della Nièvre, della Côte-d'Or e della Saona e Loira. Il suo punto più alto è l'Haut-Folin (901 m). La regione è percorsa da un reticolo idrografico denso con molti laghi artificiali e da una grande boscosità. Il Morvan è protetto da un parco naturale regionale dal 1970.
