Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre (French pronunciation: ​[sɛ̃t sevɛʁ syʁ ɛ̃dʁ], literally Sainte-Sévère on Indre) is a commune in the Indre department in central France.

It is situated near the source of the river Indre. The town has a population today of approximately 770 (2018).

The town was featured in the movie Jour de fête (1949) by Jacques Tati, which tells of a small amusement fair in a town and of the adventures of a rural postman. The fairground scenes were shot in the old town square, and many of the local inhabitants were given roles as extras.
