Sainte-Sévère-sur-Indre is a commune in the Indre department in central France.
It is situated near the source of the Indre River. The town has a population today of approximately 899 (1999).
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.
