Saint-Cyran-du-Jambot (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ siʁɑ̃ dy ʒɑ̃bo/) is a commune in the Indre department in central France.

Saint-Cyran's origins lie with a monastic foundation founded by Saint Sigiramnus (Cyran) in the 7th century.[2] The foundation was first known as Saint-Pierre de Longoret (Longoretum, Lonrey) but was later named after its founder.[2] In the 17th century, Jean du Vergier de Hauranne, known as the Abbé de Saint-Cyran, served as abbot of this monastery. He was succeeded by his nephew Martin de Barcos. The monastery was dissolved in 1712.[2]
