The Communauté de communes CAPAVENIR is a French former administrative association of communes in the Vosges département of eastern France and in the region of Lorraine. It was created in December 2004 and had its administrative offices at Thaon-les-Vosges.[1] It was merged into the new Communauté d'agglomération d'Épinal in January 2013.
