List of cities in Flanders


This is a list of cities in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. The status of "city" is historical and does not necessarily mean it has a high number of inhabitants: see city status in Belgium for more information.
Brussels is not listed because it is not part of the Flemish Region; it is however included in the Flemish Community.
