Savigny-en-Septaine (French pronunciation: [saviɲi ɑ̃ sɛptɛn]) is a commune in the Cher department in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.

A farming area comprising a village and a few hamlets situated about 6 miles (9.7 km) southeast of Bourges, at the junction of the D976 with the D46 and the D66 roads. The village lies on the left bank of the river Airain, which flows north through the middle of the commune, then flows into the Yèvre, which forms part of the commune's northern boundary.

During the summer 1944, in a farm of the village occurred the Tragedy of the Guerry's wells. It designates the massacre of 36 Jews by French militiamen.
