The Tescou, (French: Le Tescou) is a tributary of the Tarn in the basin of the Garonne in Southern France. It flows 48.8 kilometres through the departments of Tarn; Tarn-et-Garonne and Haute-Garonne.
The source is near Gaillac in the Massif Central, and its confluence with the Tarn is near Montauban in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Midi-Pyrénées region.
In 2014 construction work began on the Sivens Dam (Barrage de Sivens), to supply irrigation for local farms.
On 25 October 2014, Rémi Fraisse, a 21-year-old student protesting against the Sivens Dam across the Tescou, was killed after being hit in the back by a grenade, sparking further violent protests.
