Scheuren is a municipality in the Biel/Bienne administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

Under Bernese rule it was incorporated into the bailiwick of Nidau and was the seat of a low court that had jurisdiction over several neighboring villages.

[3] The village was built along the Zihl/Thielle river, which periodically flooded, damaging buildings or fields.

The diversion of the river and the construction of the Nidau-Büren Canal, in 1868-75, removed the flood risk and opened up additional farm land.

Today, despite Biel's proximity, Scheuren has remained largely an agricultural village, with a couple of small factories and businesses.

On 31 December 2009 Amtsbezirk Nidau, the municipality's former district, was dissolved.

[9] Most of the population (as of 2000[update]) speaks German (398 or 94.5%) as their first language, French is the second most common (19 or 4.5%) and Italian is the third (2 or 0.5%).
