Voeren (French: Fourons) is a Flemish municipality with a bilingual (Dutch and French) population, located in the Belgian province of Limburg.

Bordering the Netherlands to the north and the Walloon province of Liège to the south, it is geographically detached from the rest of Flanders, making Voeren/Fourons an exclave of Flanders.

Voeren's name is derived from that of a small right-bank tributary of the Meuse, the Voer or Fouron, which flows through the municipality.

The municipality consists of the six villages of 's-Gravenvoeren (French: Fouron-le-Comte), Sint-Pieters-Voeren (French: Fouron-Saint-Pierre), Sint-Martens-Voeren (French: Fouron-Saint-Martin), Moelingen (French: Mouland), Teuven and Remersdaal (French: Rémersdael).

's-Gravenvoeren is the most important and most populous village of the municipality.

Locally, the three villages are named Sint-Marten/Saint-Martin, Sint-Pieter/Saint-Pierre, and Voeren/Fouron (for 's-Gravenvoeren/Fouron-le-Comte).
