Mauriac (French pronunciation: [moʁjak] ^ⓘ; Occitan: [mawɾiˈak]) is a commune in the Cantal department in the Auvergne region in south-central France.

It lies 63 kilometres (39 mi) north-northwest of Aurillac by rail.

Mauriac, built on the slope of a volcanic hill, has a medieval church, and the buildings of an old abbey now used as public offices and dwellings; the town owes its origin to the abbey, which originated from a 6th-century foundation.
