Monpazier (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃pazje]; Occitan: Montpasièr) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southwest France, located 40 kilometres from Bergerac Airport. It is a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The most beautiful villages of France") association, and in 2019 obtained the designation Ville et Metiers d'Art, thanks to the many artisans working in the village.
From 1790 to 2015, Monpazier was the capital of the canton of Monpazier.
