The Ougeotte () is a river in the department of Haute-Saône in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France. It is a sub-tributary of the Rhône via the Saône.
Geography The Ougeotte rises in Ouge, which gives its name to the river. It flows generally east, receiving the Gailley at Chauvirey-le-Vieil, then the Écrevisses stream on the right of the ancient Agneaucourt mill, then joining the Saône at Gevigney-et-Mercey, near Montureux-lès-Baulay.
Nowadays there are no more mills which take power from the Ougeotte, while at the beginning of the 19th century there were many: Ouge: le Moulinot Chauvirey: le Bouvot, le Maublanc, la Guerelle, le Grand Moulin Montigny-lès-Cherlieu: Montigny, Agneaucourt, and on the tributary stream: le Ferry and le Battant Noroy Bougey: la Perrière Gevigney: Vachez, le Moulin Neuf Montureux-lès-Baulay
In the 1840s, the Ougeotte was populated by burbot, pike, eel and perch. By 1960, it was fished for trout and crayfish.
