Višnjan je općina u Hrvatskoj, u Istarskoj županiji. Višnjan se nalazi u zapadnom dijelu Istre na području Poreštine. To je prostor između rijeke Mirne na sjeveru i Limskog kanala na jugu nazvan po najvećem naselju Poreču. Vissignanun, Vicinius, Guissignanus, Visignano, Ime Višnjan vjerojatno potječe od latinske riječi Vicinianus što znači u blizini jer je Višnjan u prošlosti bio najbliži posjed Poreča. Najstariji pisani dokument u kojem mu se spominje ime je akt po kojemu su se određivale granice posjeda Sv. Maura iz 1003.g.
