Hamme-Mille is a district of the municipality of Beauvechain, located in the province of Walloon Brabant, Belgium.
The settlement existed at least from 1146. In 1235, Henry II, Duke of Brabant founded a Cistercian abbey for nuns, the Valduc Abbey, in Hamme. Today nothing remains of the abbey, which was dismantled and sold as rubble following the French Revolution. On its foundations a large country house was built in 1867 and designed by . In Mille there is also a well-preserved medieval chapel, dedicated to Saint Cornelius. It was built in 1460.
