Madeleine is a river in eastern France, in the Territoire de Belfort département.
It begins in the Vosges mountains, near the commune of Lamadeleine-Val-des-Anges. 25 km downstream (340 m above sea level), it joins the river Saint-Nicolas in the village Bretagne to form the river Bourbeuse. The river Bourbeuse is a tributary to the river Allan, which is a tributary to the river Doubs.
The Madeleine river flows through the communes of Étueffont, Anjoutey, Bourg-sous-Châtelet, Bethonvilliers, Lacollonge, Fontenelle, Petit-Croix and Novillard.
The basin in that area is 45 km². It is also a fishing area. The confluence with the Saint-Nicolas is in a marshy area.
