Eys (; ) is a village in the municipality of Gulpen-Wittem, Limburg, the Netherlands. The town is located from Gulpen and from provincial capital Maastricht. Furthermore, it is characterised by its location in the hilly landscape of South Limburg. The village was first mentioned in 1193 in a document of the Sint-Pauluskapittel of Liège, Belgium, and was named after the river Eyserbeek.
The Eyserbosweg (the road, in Dutch, that leads from the village to the forest, ) is one of the hills to be climbed in the yearly professional cycle race Amstel Gold Race, first held in 1966. The organiser is not sure when the Eyserbosweg was first involved in the race.
