Saint-Sulpice-les-Bois (in French pronounced as /sɛ̃ sylpis le bwa/; Occitan (post 1500);: Sent-Saupesí, in Occitan (post 1500); pronounced as /ʃẽ ʃɔwpә'si/) is a commune in the Corrèze department in central France.
The Triouzoune has its source in the northwestern part of the commune; it flows southeast through the commune and forms part of its southeastern boundary.
The village was once called Taphaleschat. The name is derived from Taifals, a barbarian people (from Oltenia) settled in Gaul in the fifth century.
