Renève (French pronunciation: [ʁənɛv]) is a commune in the Côte-d'Or department in eastern France, 30 km north east of Dijon. It sits on the Vingeanne river, close to the Canal entre Champagne et Bourgogne.

The town was the site of Queen Brunhilda of Austrasia's torture and execution in 613, the aged monarch being racked for three days, and then torn apart by horses.
