Hames-Boucres is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.
A village located 6 miles (9 km) southwest of Calais, at the junction of the D215 and D231E2.
The commune was created from the two former parishes of Hames and Boucres in 1819. The two parish churches were located almost opposite each other and separated only by a street. The church of Hames was demolished during the Revolution. The English seized the castle in 1558, but it was retaken by Francis, Duke of Guise, who successfully claimed all of the Calais Pale for France.
