Helvoirt () is a village and part of the municipality of Vught, Netherlands.

== History == The village was first mentioned in 1192 as Hellevorth, and means "clear fordable place". Helvoirt developed in the Middle Ages on the road from Tilburg to 's-Hertogenbosch. Castle Zwijnsbergen was built near the village and Helvoirt became a heerlijkheid.
