Essoyes (French pronunciation: [ɛswa]) is a commune in the Aube department in north-central France.

Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir had a house in the town. The village, hometown of his wife Aline and model and governess of his children Gabrielle Renard, is represented in many of his paintings.
