Aigurande is a commune in the Indre department in central France.
The town's name derives from the Gallic word "Equoranda", which refers to a river or stream separating two Gallic tribes (in this case the Pictons (of Poitou) and the Bituriges (of the Berry).
The river Bouzanne has its source in the commune.
