Recogne is a historic village in the Ardennes, in the Belgian province of Luxembourg, which is now a subsection of the municipality of Libramont-Chevigny.

Recogne is located a few miles north of Bastogne, in an area that saw heavy fighting during the Battle of the Bulge.[1] Since 1947 it has been the location of Recogne German war cemetery. This cemetery was walled off and a chapel was built in 1954.[2]

Minor planet 3365 Recogne is named for the village.
