The Oratory of Orgon is a monument located in the commune of Orgon, in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône (region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur).

The oratories, in Provence as elsewhere, were often places of popular devotion, marking paths or gathering points for the faithful.

Their presence was linked to common religious practices, such as processions or stops during pilgrimages, although the specific details of this oratory are not specified in the available sources.
