Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre () is a commune in the Indre department in central France.
==History== The town takes its name from its basilica, dedicated to Saint James the Great (), which is a replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The name of the town is written with an "h" in "sepulchre"; this is reportedly the work of a medieval monk who sought to underscore the beauty of the church by combining the words "sepulcrum" ("tomb") + "pulcher" ("beautiful").
