Aubigny-sur-Nère is a town and commune in the Cher department in the administrative region of Centre-Val de Loire, France.

It is an area of forestry and farming surrounding a small light industrial town, situated in the valley of the river Nère some 30 miles (48 km) north of Bourges at the junction of the D940, D924, D30 and the D923 roads.

Aubigny is a common tourist destination for Scots and others from the United Kingdom. The commune is very attached to the Auld Alliance, due to its 400 years of French-Scottish history and is the only place in France that still celebrates this long association each year, on Bastille Day. It is twinned with the Scottish town of Haddington, East Lothian.

Places of interest include:

• The church of St Martin, dating from the thirteenth century.
• The fifteenth-century Château d'Aubigny.
• The sixteenth-century Château de la Verrerie.
• Several sixteenth-century houses.
• A tower, one of few remains of the original town fortifications.
• A museum dedicated to Marguerite Audoux, (1863-1937), a writer who lived nearby.
