Béganne (Breton: Begaon) is a commune in the Morbihan département in Brittany in north-western France.

Inhabitants of Béganne are called Bégannais.

Delphine Batho (born in Paris on 23 March 1973) is a politician who, until her appointment as Junior Minister at the French Ministry of Justice by President François Hollande on 16 May 2012, was a member of the National Assembly of France, where she represented the 2nd constituency of Deux-Sèvres on behalf of the Socialist, Radical, Citizen, and Miscellaneous Left grouping.

Batho began her militant activity in the high-school students' union FIDL (Fédération indépendante et démocratique lycéenne) while attending the Lycée Henri IV in Paris. She was elected president of the union in 1990 and became well-known for her activism on behalf of students' rights and for the means to study. Following nearly two months of strikes the movement obtained from Lionel Jospin, the Minister for Education, a pledge to spend 4.5 million francs on renovating high schools and to protect certain student rights. In 1992 she left high school, and thus the FIDL, to study history.

Batho joined the anti-racist movement SOS Racisme and when its leadership was renewed in September 1992 Fodé Sylla, aged 29, became president and Batho, a representative of the "second generation SOS" in the words of Le Monde, was elected vice-president.
