Bágyogszovát is a village in Győr-Moson-Sopron county, Hungary, in the north-western region, 35 kilometers from Győr, in the direction of Sopron, near the Route 85, the main route of the county.

Bágyogszovát was first mentioned in a document from the 13th century. According to those documents, the first part of the village was founded in 1224, named "Zooac". This name was changed to "Szovát" during the centuries. The village was the property of the Bishop of Győr for more than 5 centuries. The other part of the village, "Bágyog" was founded later, but there is no exact date for reference. The original name was "Baguc". The two parts of the village were joined soon after World War II.
