Authie (French pronunciation: [oti] ) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

The commune was led by the elected mayor Henri Macron (the great-grandfather of Emmanuel Macron, current President of France), from 1953 to 1964.[3] It was also the birthplace of the trouvère Simon d'Authie.
