A Flandres (em neerlandês: Vlaanderen; em francês: Flandre; em alemão: Flandern) é a região norte da Bélgica, ao passo que a região sul do país é designada por Valónia. Na Flandres fala-se o neerlandês, embora o dialeto local desta língua seja conhecido popularmente como flamengo (Vlaams), bem como os habitantes da região, designados como "flamengos" (Vlamingen). Considera-se que o flamengo e o neerlandês são uma e a mesma língua, embora com algumas variações regionais ao nível da terminologia. Não é correto confundir a atual região belga de Flandres com o Condado da Flandres, que já não existe atualmente. Hoje em dia é necessário distinguir entre a Flandres belga e a Flandres francesa (localizada no norte da França). Ademais, a atual Flandres belga abrange áreas que não faziam parte do antigo Condado de Flandres, como as províncias de Brabante Flamengo, Antuérpia (que faziam parte do Ducado de Brabante) e Limburgo.
