Manoir de Lavaud stands in Saint-Maurice-la-Souterraine (Creuse), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: limite 15th century 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Lavaud manor, built in the late Middle Ages and standing in Saint-Maurice-la-Souterraine, exemplifies the domestic architecture typical of its period: a main residence adjoined by a detached staircase tower. The original structure survives with its interior fittings intact, while the site developed around a courtyard and central well surrounded by later buildings, an arrangement relatively uncommon in north-western Creuse.
