Saint-Chinian (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʃinjɑ̃]; Occitan: Sanch Inhan) is a commune in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region in southern France.

The town was the birthplace of the great tenor Agustarello Affre (1858–1931).

He is commemorated by a plaque on the house where he was born, on the Avenue de Saint Pons.

Saint-Chinian has given its name to Saint-Chinian wine, which is classified as Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) and covers several communes around Saint-Chinian itself.
