Gouise is a commune in the Allier department in central France.

This small village is situated at the crossing of two secondary departmental roads, the D102 (East-West from Saint-Voir to Bessay-sur-Allier) and the D105 (North-South from Neuilly-le-Réal to Saint-Gérand-de-Vaux). Oddly, it has no church but a small town hall with an adjacent meeting room. Gouise lives mainly on farming (cattle) and tourism (bed and breakfast). There is also a construction work company. Other people live there but go to work in town (Moulins) or in neighbouring villages.
