Condé-sur-l'Escaut (French pronunciation: [kɔ̃de syʁ lɛsko], literally Condé on the Escaut; Picard: Condé-su-l'Escaut) is a commune of the Nord department in northern France.

The region is noted for its coal mines, resources which made it a strategic objective in both world wars.

It was captured by the Flemish forces of Jacques van Artevelde, by King Louis XI of France, by Les Gueux during the Eighty Years' War, and by Turenne.

Forces of the Seventh Coalition captured it from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1815, only returning it to French control three years later[citation needed].

The town was occupied by the Germans during the Second World War, who used the population to run the adjacent coal mines.

He was provost of the church of Notre-Dame, which had one of the most sumptuous musical establishments in Hainaut, exceeded only by the cathedral at Cambrai, as well as St. Vincent at Soignies.
