Saint-Loup-de-Varennes is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France.
Nicéphore Niépce, the inventor of photography, lived in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, where he died in 1833. Most or all of his photographs, including one taken in 1827 and now the oldest known surviving camera photograph, were made at Le Gras, his ancestral family estate in this village.
