Savigny-le-Temple (French: [saviɲi lə tɑ̃pl] ⓘ) is a commune in the Seine-et-Marne Department of France in the Île-de-France in north-central France.

History
During the French Revolution, Savigny-le-Temple (meaning "Savigny the temple") was temporarily renamed Savigny-sur-Balory (meaning "Savigny upon Balory", after the small Balory river). It was also temporarily renamed Savigny-le-Port (meaning "Savigny the port"). These changes were probably motivated by the religious connotation of the word "temple".
