In　this　paper,　we　study　the　cotorsion　dimensions　and　cotorsion　triples　in　the　recollements　of　abelian　categories.　The　main　results　are　that　recollements　induce　new　(resp.　complete　hereditary)　cotorsion　triples　from　the　middle　category　and　that　the　cotorsion　dimensions　are　bounded　under　certain　conditions.　As　an　application,　the　cotorsion　triples　in　the　recollements　of　module　categories　with　respect　to　triangular　matrix　algebras　are　recovered.
