Houthalen-Helchteren (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦʌutˌɦaːlə(n) ˈɦɛl(ə)xtərə(n)]; Limburgish: Hôtele-Helichtre) is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Limburg.

Houthalen-Helchteren consists of Houthalen-centrum, Houthalen-Oost, Helchteren, Sonnis, Laak, Meulenberg and Lillo.

In the immediate vicinity the Dommel (which flows to the Meuse near Den Bosch), the Grote Nete (which flows to the Scheldt) and the Neer (that joins the Meuse just south of Roermond) all originate.

The cannonade itself is however a seldom occurring event in military history.
