Déols (French pronunciation: [deɔl] ⓘ) is a commune in the department of Indre, region of Centre-Val de Loire, central France.
Déols is an ancient town with a famous Benedictine abbey, Abbaye Notre-Dame-du-Bourg-Dieu. Today it is somewhat overshadowed by the nearby city of Châteauroux, which faces it across the river Indre.
It preserves a fine Romanesque tower and other remains of the abbey church, once the most important in the duchy of Berry.
