Moutier (; ) is a municipality in Switzerland. Until 31 December 2025, the town belonged to the Jura bernois administrative district of the canton of Bern. On 28 March 2021, the population voted to secede and join the Canton of Jura. The decision entailed a lengthy process of transfer of competences between cantonal authorities.
