Sasso d'Ombrone is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Cinigiano, province of Grosseto. At the time of the 2001 census its population amounted to 300.

Sasso d'Ombrone is about 33 km from Grosseto and 8 km from Cinigiano, and it is situated along the road which links Cinigiano to the Cipressino Provincial Road at Paganico, on a hill in the valley of Ombrone.

Formerly known as Sasso di Maremma, the village was born in the 13th century as a castle of the Aldobrandeschi. It was then held by the Ardengheschi and conquered by the Republic of Siena in the 15th century.
