Cuesmes (French pronunciation: [kwɛm] or [kɥɛm]; Walloon: Cweme) is a sub-municipality of the city of Mons located in the province of Hainaut, Wallonia, Belgium.

Coal mining is such a big part of Cuesmes and its culture that the village is surrounded by slag heaps, the most famous being Mount Héribus.

The cemetery contains 47 Commonwealth burials of World War I, 9 of which are identified bodies, the rest are unidentifiable.

Its neighbouring town, Jemappes, has a road going through the middle of it called 'Rue de Cuesmes', this is because of how close they are together.

When there's not houses or streets, there are large farming fields, and small areas with trees, such as the yard surrounding Maison Van Gogh.
