Stenay () is a commune in north-eastern France. It lies in the Meuse department, which is located in the Lorraine portion of the Grand Est region.

==History== thumb|left|Église Saint-Joseph de Cervisy thumb|Map of Stenay () In 679, the assassinated king Dagobert II was buried in the church of Saint-Remi in Stenay. In 872, King Charles the Bald had his body moved a newly built basilica dedicated to him. In 1069, the canons of the basilica were accused of laxness. Duke Godfrey the Bearded handed the basilica over to Gorze Abbey and it became a Benedictine priory. The Vita Dagoberti was written there. In 1580, the basilica was secularized and the cloisters demolished. In 1591, what remained was sacked by Huguenots.
