Saint-Girons ([sɛ̃ʒiʁɔ̃][1], in Gascon Sent Gironç) is a French commune located in the west of the department of Ariège, in the Occitanie region. Its name was given in homage to Girons d'Hagetmau, evangelizer of Novempopulania. Historically and culturally, the town is part of Couserans, a country with Gascon roots structured by the course of the Salat.

Exposed to an altered oceanic climate, it is drained by the Salat, the Lez, the Baup and various other small rivers. Included in the regional natural park of the Ariège Pyrenees, the town has a remarkable natural heritage: a Natura 2000 site (“Garonne, Ariège, Hers, Salat, Pique and Neste”), a protected area (the “cliffs of Sourroque”) and two natural areas of ecological, faunal and floristic interest.

Saint-Girons is an urban commune with 6,415 inhabitants in 2020. It belongs to the urban unit of Saint-Girons and is part of the Saint-Girons attraction area. Its inhabitants are called Saint-Gironnais or Saint-Gironnaises or Gironnais.

"Capital" of Couserans, the city is one of the two sub-prefectures of Ariège with Pamiers, the prefecture being Foix.

It is part of the community of Couserans-Pyrenees municipalities and the regional natural park of the Ariège Pyrenees.
