Heythuysen (; ) is a town in the south-eastern Netherlands.

== History == It was first mentioned in 1383 as Heythusen, and means "houses on the heath". It was located on the road from Venlo to Antwerp, and between the Bevelandse beek and the Tungelroyse beek. In 1243, it became a border town for the County of Horne. In 1680, Heythuysen became an independent heerlijkheid.
