Déodat de Séverac (20 July 1872 – 24 March 1921) was a French composer. He first studied in Toulouse, then later moved to Paris to study under Vincent d'Indy and Albéric Magnard at the Schola Cantorum, took organ lessons from Alexandre Guilmant, and worked as an assistant to Isaac Albéniz. He then returned to the southern France, where he spent much of the rest of his life. Séverac is noted for his vocal and choral music, which includes settings of verse in Occitan and Catalan, as well as French poems by Verlaine and Baudelaire. His compositions for solo piano have also won critical acclaim.
