Sarcelles is a commune in the northern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 16.3 km. (10.1 miles) from the center of Paris. Sarcelles is a "sous-préfecture" of the Val-d'Oise "département", being the seat of the Arrondissement of Sarcelles.

In the south of the commune, during the 1950s and 1960s, HLMs were built in order to accommodate pieds-noirs, many of them Jewish, who left Algeria due to the Algerian War of Independence.

There is a large market on Sundays.
