Saint-Clair-sur-Epte (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ klɛːʁ syʁ ɛpt] ; literally 'Saint-Clair on Epte') is a commune in the Val-d'Oise department in Île-de-France in northern France. It is situated on the river Epte, 10 km southwest of Gisors.

The treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911 established Rollo, a Norse warlord and Viking leader, as the first Duke of Normandy.
