Eringhem (French pronunciation: [eʁɛ̃ɡɛm]; Dutch: Eringem) is a commune in the Nord department and Hauts-de-France region of northern France.[3]

Located about halfway between Dunkirk and Saint-Omer in the historical region of French Westhoek, its West Flemish name is Eringem.

The village churchyard contains the graves of three Royal Air Force men killed in action in May 1940, among them Pilot Officer Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson.
