Saint-Mandé (; named for Saint Maudez) is a commune in the Val-de-Marne department in Île-de-France, this commune is a high-end town in eastern inner suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 5.3 km from the centre of Paris.

Saint-Mandé is one of the smallest communes in Île-de-France by land area, but also one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe. It is located on the edge of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, adjacent to the Bois de Vincennes, near the Porte de Vincennes and the Porte de Saint-Mandé.

The town motto is Cresco et Floresco, which means "I grow and I flourish" in Latin.

History

On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, about two-thirds of the commune of Saint-Mandé was annexed to the city and now forms the neighbourhoods of Bel-Air and Picpus in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.

In 1929, Saint-Mandé lost an additional one quarter of its territory when the city of Paris annexed the Bois de Vincennes, a small part of which belonged to Saint-Mandé. The territorial losses of 1860 and 1929 left a rump of a commune and is what remains of Saint-Mandé today.
