The Collégiale Saint-Aignan is a former Catholic collegiate church in Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, built between the 11th and 12th centuries. Its east end has a rounded, multi-lobed shape, with pale grey and tan stone walls, vertical columns separating curved sections, and three projecting chapels with arched windows along the lower left side. A conical spire with a small weather vane tops the dark roofs.

The collegiate church was built between the 11th and 12th centuries in Saint-Aignan, in the Loir-et-Cher department. Its 11th-century crypt was decorated with wall paintings in the 12th and 13th centuries. The building was classified as a monument historique in 1862.
