Vierzon is a commune in the Cher department in the Centre region of France.

A medium-sized town by the banks of the Cher River with some light industry and an area of forestry and farming to the north. It is situated some 33 kilometres (21 miles) northwest of Bourges, at the junction of the D2020, D2076 and the D918 roads.

Motorways encircle the town on three sides: the A85 and A71 on the north and east and the A20 on the north and west. Railways reached Vierzon in 1847 and a central SNCF hub, serving local and nation rail traffic, has been developed here ever since.

• The church of Nôtre-Dame at Vierzon
• The church dating from the twelfth century.
• The 18th-century château of La Noue.
