Betanure[nb 1] (Syriac: ܒܝܬ ܬܢܘܪܐ,[2] Kurdish: بێته‌نورێ,[3] Hebrew: בית תנורה)[4] is a village in Dohuk Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq.

[5] Betanure is first attested in the 16th century in a letter from Rabbi Yaʻqob ben Yahūda Mizrāḥi, head of a yeshiva in Mosul, to Jewish notables of Amedi in an appeal for financial support, which has been interpreted to suggest the village was prosperous and well established by this time.

[11] It was claimed that, until their displacement, Betanure was exclusively inhabited by a Jewish population, consisting of 55 families in 100 households, and had two religious schools with 150 male students, which is likely exaggerated.

[6] Betanure was frequently ransacked by Assyrians of the Tyari tribe, and it was reported that they looted the village on Good Friday for three successive years as punishment for the perceived Jewish complicity in the Crucifixion of Jesus.

[1][14] Betanure lay in ruins until four houses were constructed by the Supreme Committee of Christian Affairs,[15] and the village was inhabited by 15 adherents of the Assyrian Church of the East in 2012.
