The Semme (in French: la Semme) is a 50.3 km (31.3 mi) long river in the Creuse and Haute-Vienne départements, in central France. Its source is in Saint-Priest-la-Feuille. It flows generally west and is a right tributary of the Gartempe into which it flows near le Bouchard, a hamlet in the municipality of Droux.

In 1918, Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron during the First World War, was shot down near the river while pursuing Wilfrid "Wop" May.
