Sainte-Croix-sur-Orne (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t kʁwa syʁ ɔʁn] , literally Sainte-Croix on Orne) is a former commune in the Orne department in north-western France.[2] On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Putanges-le-Lac.[3] The 18th-century military, playwright and physician Guillaume-René Lefébure (1744–1806) was born in Sainte-Croix-sur-Orne.

The former commune is part of the area known as Suisse Normande.[4]
