Berchem (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbɛrxɛm] ⓘ) is a southern district of the municipality and city of Antwerp in the Flemish Region of Belgium.

The 'Ring', Antwerp's circular motorway which follows the track of the former city defense walls, cuts Berchem in two parts, separating the urban inner city area of Oud-Berchem (intra muros) from the more residential and suburban areas Groenenhoek, Pulhof and Nieuw Kwartier (extra muros).

The District Council includes 25 members, directly elected for six-year terms by popular vote.

The Zurenborg area hosts a high concentration of Art Nouveau and other fin-de-siècle style townhouses, many built between 1894 and 1906.

Though suffering competition from suburban shopping centers, the retail highstreet still has an interesting mix of Belgian, local, and international convenience and non-food stores.
