Renfrew, Ontario, Canada is a town on the Bonnechere River in Renfrew County, located geographically in Eastern Ontario.

The Renfrew Museum is located along the Bonnechere River near the town landmark Swinging Bridge and overlooking natural rapids below the Ontario Hydro generating station.

Renfrew is the annual host and sponsor of the Ottawa Valley Lumber Barron Festival, a celebration of the towns roots in the logging industry.

The O'Brien Theatre was a balconied and elegantly decorated town landmark that was converted from a live theatre to a movie theatre, then upgraded in the 1990's to accommodate two screens, but maintains much of the original appeal.

Much of Renfrew's current prosperity comes from being the commercial centre for over 30,000 residents of the surrounding small towns and rural region, with over 450 small service or commercial businesses in the 2001 municipal census. In addition, Renfrew is an easy rest or activity stop for Ottawa-based cottagers and outdoorsmen passing by on their way to nearby whitewater rafting, boating, camping, hunting, golfing, fishing, snowmobiling, down-hill skiing, and cross-country skiing. However, the area's largest single employers are the Renfrew Victoria Hospital and the Bonnechere Manor, and additional retirement facilities have opened since the census.
