Villeneuve-Saint-Georges is a commune in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 15.5 kilometres (9.6 miles) from the centre of Paris. People from Villeneuve-Saint-Georges are called Villeneuvois.

Villeneuve-Saint-Georges was settled during the Paleolithic and the Neolithic ages at the meeting of the Yerres and the Seine rivers, as well at Triage, with evidence from archeological remains found by Francis Martin in the 19th century, which includes flints and some stone tools.

After the battle of Melun during the Roman Empire, the area was integrated into the Roman Empire. A small town was built around the area, with the name of Villa Nova (Latin for new house).

The town, compared to the rest of Val-de-Marne, is perceived as noisy and undesirable place to go. It has lost its charm during the 18th and 19th centuries, and starting from 1980 workers have deserted the city, leaving a mostly immigrant population, most from the Maghreb. A final destination for most of these immigrants, the gathering of these communities have made it unappealing to local French.
