Cuijk (; dialect: Kuuk) is a town in the northeastern part of the province of North Brabant, Netherlands. It is the successor of a Roman settlement on the west bank of the Meuse, south of Nijmegen. Cuijk, which had a population of 18,170 as of 2020, was the centre of an eponymous municipality, which ceased to exist on 1 January 2022, when it was replaced by the larger Land van Cuijk municipality.
== Origin of the name == The name Cuijk seems to be derived from the Celtic Keukja, meaning curve or bend. This refers to a bend in the Meuse near Cuijk. The Romans transformed Keukja to Ceuclum, leading to the later Dutch name Cuijk.
