Vijlen (Limburgish: Viele) is a village in the South-East part of the Dutch province of Limburg.

Located at 200 meters above Normaal Amsterdams Peil, on top of the Vijlenerberg (Vijlener hill), it is the highest situated town in the Netherlands.

With lodging and camping facilities available, tourism related business is a key source of income for the village.

Documentation of a gift to the abbey of Aachen-Burtscheidt in that year mentions property in Villiam (Uilliam).

Communal graves from the Linear Pottery culture have been recovered, and indicate human settlements in the area around 5000 years ago.
