Westhoek is a region in Belgium and France and includes the following areas:
- Belgian Westhoek (Template:Lang-nl) including the West Flanders Template:Lang of Diksmuide, Ypres, and Veurne including the cities of Veurne, Poperinge, Wervik, Ypres, De Panne, Langemark-Poelkapelle, Diksmuide and Koekelare. However, the three Belgian coast municipalities of De Panne, Koksijde, and Nieuwpoort are frequently considered a separate region known as the Belgian or Flemish West Coast (Template:Lang).
- French Westhoek (Template:Lang-fr; Template:Lang-nl), roughly the Template:Lang of Dunkirk, including the cities of Dunkirk, Gravelines, and Hazebrouck, itself part of a larger area known as French Flanders.
Outside Dutch-language sources, Westhoek sometimes refers only to French Westhoek.
