Sénépy is a mountain located in Matheysine, in the Dauphiné Alps of south-eastern France.

Its elevation is 1,769m. It overlooks the Drac River valley, the Monteynard lake and the Trièves on the opposite riverbank as well.

It is mainly covered by high mountain pastures. Due to high exposure to strong wind (bise) coming from the north, a project consisting in implementing Wind power plants on the mountain is being studied. This project is facing a strong opposition for environmental concerns.
