Reclinghem (French pronunciation: [ʁəklɛ̃ɡɑ̃]; West Flemish: Reklingem) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France. It was settled by the Viking Rikiwulf (the rich and powerful wolf) in the 9th century, who probably also settled nearby Richebourg and Rijkeghem in present Tielt, Belgium.
