Kœur-la-Petite is a commune in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France.

In 1464,during the war of the roses (1455-1487) it was a refuge for members of the defeated house of Lancaster. They found shelter at the chateau of Koeur la Petite. Henry VI of England's queen, Margaret of Anjou lived there with Sir John Fortescue, and also the dukes of Exeter and Somerset along with others.
