Rochechouart (; , earlier La Ròcha Choard) is a commune in the Haute-Vienne department, region of New Aquitaine, west central France. It is a subprefecture of the department.

The name of the town comes from Latin roca cavardi, which roughly translates as the rock of Cavardus, the lord who had the fortified place built at the beginning of the 11th century. More often than not, natives pronounce it , not as is its pronunciation in Standard French.
