Saint-Matré (; Languedocien: Sent Matre) is a former commune in the Lot department in south-western France. On 1 January 2019, it was merged into the new commune of Porte-du-Quercy.
== Etymology == A local tradition according to which the toponym was derived from St. Amator is rather doubtful given the old forms of the name that have come down to us. No saint is mentioned in the medieval pouillés , the village being called Samatre. A 14th century pouillé mentions Samayré. We can find Samatré or Samatan in the 15th century texts, then Saint-Mathié in 1526 and Saint-Matré du Crucifix in 1679.
