Audrehem is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France.

The village is located 11 miles (18 km) northwest of Saint-Omer, at the junction of the D223 with the D217E road.

Audrehem was the birthplace of Arnoul d'Audrehem (c.1305-1370), soldier.

Louis Amadeus Rappe(02.02.1801-08.09.1877) first bishop of Cleveland OH, is born in Audrehem in a farmer family. The street where we can find his birth house is now named in his remembrance.
