Captieux ({{IPA|fr|kapsjø}}; {{langx|oc|Capsiuts}}) is a commune of Southwestern France, located in the Gironde department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2015: Aquitaine).

It lies near the border with the Landes and Lot-et-Garonne departments.

The commune is in the east of the Parc naturel régional des Landes de Gascogne.

Between 1950 and 1967, the U.S. Army's 23,000-acre 571st Ordnance Ammunition Command (Captieux Ordnance Depot) was situated southwest of the village.{{cite web|url=https://www.usarmygermany.com/Units/ArmyDepots/USAREUR_Ammo%20Depots.htm#Captieux |title=USAREUR Units - Engineer Depots |publisher=Usarmygermany.com |date= |accessdate=2022-04-22}}{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wbDcDDZUepgC|title = Military Construction Appropriations for 1962: Hearings Before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, Eighty-seventh Congress, First Session|year = 1961}}
