Saint-Côme-d'Olt (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ kom dɔlt], literally Saint-Côme of Olt; Occitan: Sant Cosme) is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France. It is one of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (most beautiful villages of France).

The commune is located in the Lot valley, near the confluence with the river called Boralde of Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac.

Saint-Côme-d'Olt with its twisted church spire is located on the Le Puy route (Latin: Via Podiensis, French: route du Puy) of the Way of St. James.
Pilgrims come from Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac. Their next stage is Espalion, and its church of Perse.
