Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t‿etjɛn də sɛ̃ ʒwaʁ]; literally 'Saint-Étienne of Saint-Geoirs') is a commune in the Isère department in southeastern France.[3] It is the hometown of Rose Valland, who saved thousands of works of art from Nazi looting and destruction during World War II and thwarted German efforts to remove art by passing information to the French Resistance. The organization Memoire de Rose Valland is based in Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs.[4]

Singer (bass) and actor Xavier Depraz died in Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs on 18 October 1994.
