Sant Feliu Sasserra is a small town, also known as a municipality, located in the northeastern part of Catalonia, a region in Spain. It is found in the far north-east of the Bages area. This town is also part of a natural region called Lluçanès.

The town's name tells us a bit about its history and location. Sant Feliu comes from an old church built on a rock called "Felix's Rock." The second part, Sasserra, means that the main road through the town follows the natural hills and ridges of the area. So, its name means "Saint Felix of the Mountain Ridge."

Sant Feliu Sasserra completely surrounds a small piece of land that belongs to another town called Oristà.

Even though the town is in the natural area of Lluçanès, its people voted in 2015 not to join a new official region (comarca) with that name. That plan was put on hold. In 2023, it briefly became part of the new Lluçanès comarca. However, the town later voted to go back and be part of the Bages region again.
