Baexem (Limburgish: Boaksum/Boakse) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg.

It is a part of the municipality of Leudal, and lies about 9 kilometres northwest of Roermond.

The village was first mentioned in 1244 as Baxen, and means "settlement of Bako (person)".

[3] Baexem was part of the Imperial Abbey of Thorn, a tiny independent country, until 1794.

The wind mill was restored in 1972, and operates on a voluntary basis.
