Vergt (; ) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
==History== On 9 October 1562, Vergt was the site of one of the first major battles of the French Wars of Religion. An army of Huguenot rebels under Symphorien de Duras was defeated by a Royalist force led by Blaise de Montluc, a victory which prevented them linking up with Protestant forces north of the Loire.
