Eijsden-Margraten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌɛizdəˈmɑrɣraːtə(n)]; (Limburgish: Èèsjde-Mergraote) is a municipality situated in the very south of the Netherlands in the southeastern part of the province of Limburg.

This municipality was formed in 2011 from the former municipalities of Eijsden and Margraten, that both consisted of a number of separate villages. As a result, the current Eijsden-Margraten municipality consists of 28 villages and townships, spread out over 15 administrative centres.

Eijsden-Margraten is one of the most southerly municipalities in the Netherlands, for in its south it is extending up to the most southerly part of the border between the Netherlands and Belgium.

The Meuse river, coming from France and Belgium, at Eijsden enters its third and final flowing country, the Netherlands. Running northward to Eijsden-Margraten's west, it locally forms the western frontier with Belgium.

A smaller stream, the Voer, coming from Belgium, drains into the Meuse river in this municipality, after having passed through a few of its villages.
