Ekeren (Dutch pronunciation: ['eːkərə(n)] ⓘ) is a northern district of the municipality of Antwerp in the Flemish Region of Belgium.

The name possibly originates from Vikings who settled there in the ninth century after using the oak trees.

The 1 square kilometre large domain of the Oude Landen is a unique and extremely diverse natural sanctuary situated near the border with the Antwerp city district.

Some street names in Ekeren (for example, the "Successiestraat", "Vierkerkenstraat", and "Tweekronenstraat") still refer to this historical event.

The district council gathers in the 16th century-era Hof van Veltwijck, which had seen major restructuring works around 2000; this complex also houses local administrative offices.
