Saint-Vincent-de-Cosse (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ vɛ̃sɑ̃ kɔs]; Languedocien: Sent Vincenç de Còssa) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France, on the Dordogne River.

The commune is located 15 km (9.3 mi) south of Sarlat-la-Canéda. It has two church buildings: an original Romanesque twelfth century church, Saint Vincent le Salvadou, and a nineteenth century replacement.[3] It is named for St Vincent de Agen, a local third century saint.[4]
