Combles (French pronunciation: ⓘ; Picard: Conme) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France. The city is part of the First World War remembrance circuit.

Combles is situated on the D20 road, some 50 km (31 mi) north-east of Amiens.

Combles was the operations centre for the battle of Bapaume during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71.

Combles was again at the centre of much fighting during World War I (1914–1918), with many of its buildings damaged and many of its residents injured or killed, not to mention the numerous casualties among the forces in combat there. Many British soldiers who fell in the war are buried in the local cemetery, and there are numerous war cemeteries in the immediate surrounding area.

It has, however, been substantially developed since the war's end.
