Cugand (French pronunciation: [kyɡɑ̃]) is a former commune in the Vendée department in the Pays de la Loire region in western France.
Before the creation of the departments with the French Republic, under the French Kingdom, the parish of Cugand was part of "Marches Bretagne-Poitou" (joint possession) and of Brittany on the religious level (Roman Catholic Diocese of Nantes).
It is part of the urban unit of Clisson.
Cugand merged with the adjacent commune of La Bernardière on 1 January 2025 to form the commune of Cugand-la-Bernardière, although it remains a delegated commune with its own mayor.
