Azincourt (sometimes: Agincourt) is a village and commune of northern France in the Pas-de-Calais département, 14 miles to the north-west of Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise by road, famous on account of the victory, on October 25, 1415, of Henry V of England over the French in the Battle of Agincourt. Population (1999): 276.

The original museum of the battle, featuring model knights fabricated from Action Man, has given way to a more professional space with slide shows, audio commentaries and some interactive elements. The museum building is modelled on the longbow of the English soldiers.

The village holds a festival commemorating the battle, featuring various stalls and displays, every alternate year, the next being in July 2007 [1].

It is twinned with the English village of Middleham, North Yorkshire
