Renescure (French pronunciation: [ʁənɛskyʁ]; Dutch: Ruisscheure) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.[3]

Philippe de Commines (1447–1511) was a writer and diplomat in the courts of Burgundy and France.[4] He was born in Renescure which was then in the county of Flanders.

It is the village where Bonduelle S.A. opened its first cannery.
