Saint-Côme–Linière (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ kom linjɛʁ]) is a municipality in the Beauce-Sartigan Regional County Municipality in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of Quebec, Canada. The official spelling given by the Commission de toponymie uses an en dash after "Saint-Côme", but the town's own website uses a second hyphen: Saint-Côme-Linière. The population is 3,278 as of 2021.
Saint-Côme–Linière was constituted by the amalgamation of the parish municipality of Saint-Côme-de-Kennebec and the village of Linière on August 17, 1994. Saint-Côme was named after Arabian-born Christian martyr Saint Cosmas and Linière received its name from the seigneur who was first granted the land and cultivated fields of flax ("Lin" in French).
