Trôo is a commune of the Loir-et-Cher department in central France.

The village, which is partly troglodytic, is dominated by the collégiale or Saint Martin's church.

It overlooks the small church of Saint-Jacques-des-Guérets, known for its Romanesque wall paintings.

Trôo has a number of British residents and features in the poetry of Geoffrey Grigson.
