Beaumont-en-Verdunois (French pronunciation: [bomɔ̃ ɑ̃ vɛʁdynwa]) is a commune in the Meuse department of the Grand Est region of northeastern France.
Since the Battle of Verdun in 1916, the village has had no permanent residents (official population: 0), as is the case with other destroyed villages in the region: Bezonvaux, Haumont-près-Samogneux, Louvemont-Côte-du-Poivre, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme and Fleury-devant-Douaumont.
From 1925 onwards, the mayorship of the town has been within one family, today held by Pierre Libert.
