Saint Ouen sur Seine (; literally "Saint Ouen on Seine") is a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, France, located from the centre of Paris. It is part of the Seine Saint Denis department, in the Île de France region, and of the Métropole du Grand Paris. The commune was called Saint Ouen until 2018, when it obtained a change of name by ministerial order. The communes neighbouring Saint Ouen sur Seine are Paris, to the south, Clichy, to the west, Villeneuve la Garenne, Gennevilliers and L'Île Saint Denis, to the north, and Saint Denis to the east. The commune of Saint Ouen sur Seine is part of the canton of Saint Ouen sur Seine, which also includes L'Île Saint Denis and part of Épinay sur Seine. Saint Ouen also includes the Cimetière de Saint Ouen.

On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighbouring communes. On that occasion, a part of the commune of Saint Ouen was annexed to the city of Paris. At the same time, the commune of La Chapelle Saint Denis was disbanded and divided between the city of Paris, Saint Ouen, Saint Denis, and Aubervilliers. Saint Ouen received a small part of the territory of La Chapelle Saint Denis. The commune of Montmartre was also disbanded; the city of Paris annexed most of Montmartre, but Saint Ouen did receive a small northern part of the territory of that commune.

Saint Ouen sur Seine is home to Paris' flea market, the highest concentration of antique dealers and second hand furniture dealers in the world. The flea market (marché aux puces) is held every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday; because of this high frequency, compared to other flea markets, it has tended to consist only of professionals who rent their spot for a minimum term of three years. In 2014 the flea market site was acquired by Jean Cyrille Boutmy from Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster.

Saint Ouen sur Seine is served by three stations of the Paris Metro: Garibaldi (line 13), Saint Ouen (line 14 and RER line C) and Mairie de Saint Ouen (lines 13 and 14).
