Lanaken (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌlɑˈnaːkə(n)]; Limburgish: Laoneke) is a municipality located in the Belgian province of Limburg. Its area is 59.00 km².
Lanaken is located on the Belgian-Dutch border, bordering Maastricht directly. In the 2006 census, some 20 percent of the inhabitants turned out to have the Dutch nationality. A number of neighbourhoods in Lanaken are characterized by these immigrants' numerous villas and exclusive landhouses.
Lanaken consists of the following villages: Lanaken proper, Rekem, Neerharen, Gellik, Veldwezelt, Smeermaas and Kesselt. Also located in Lanaken are the hamlets Briegden and Herbricht and the old village centre Oud-Rekem.
The South African pulp and paper company Sappi operates a large mill on the outskirts of the town. In 2006, four 100 meter high wind turbines were built to provide electricity to the Celanese factory. Later on, 8 more have been built.
The reactivation of the former railway Maastricht-Lanaken-Hasselt was scheduled in 2014, but no such project has started to this day.
The Veldwezelt-Hezerwater Palaeolithic archaeological site is located in the municipality.
