The House of Valois-Burgundy (French: Maison de Valois-Bourgogne, Dutch: Huis van Valois-Bourgondië), or the Younger House of Burgundy, was a noble French family deriving from the royal House of Valois. (It is distinct from the Capetian House of Burgundy, descendants of King Robert II of France, though both houses stem from the Capetian dynasty.) The Valois-Burgundy family ruled the Duchy of Burgundy from 1363 to 1482 and eventually came to rule vast lands including Artois, Flanders, Luxembourg, Hainault, the county palatine of Burgundy (Franche-Comté), and other lands through marriage, forming what is now known as the Burgundian State.

The term "Valois Dukes of Burgundy" is employed to refer to the dynasty which began after King John II of France granted the French Duchy of Burgundy to his youngest son, Philip the Bold in 1363.

During the Hundred Years' War of 1337–1453, the dukes rivalled their French royal cousins, uniting a great number of French and Imperial fiefs under their rule. However, their plans to establish an autonomous kingdom ultimately failed when the last duke, Charles the Bold, sparked the Burgundian Wars of 1474 to 1477 and was killed in the Battle of Nancy in January 1477. The final ruler of the dynasty was his daughter, Mary (r. 1477–1482). On her death in 1482 her lands outside of France passed to her eldest son, Philip the Handsome, to become the Habsburg Netherlands; in the course of the War of the Burgundian Succession (1477-1482) the King of France had claimed the Duchy of Burgundy itself by escheat. Mary's death marked the end of the House of Valois-Burgundy.
