Monségur ( French pronunciation: [mɔ̃seɡyʁ]; Occitan: Montsegur) is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

Monségur is a bastide town, about 75 km (47 mi) upriver from Bordeaux in the low rolling vineyard country between the rivers Garonne in the South and the Dordogne in the North. The town was founded by charter by Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1265, and its name means hill of safety.
