Dunkirk (also Dunkerque; French Flemish: Duunkerke, French: Dunkerque, German: Dünkirchen, English: Dunkirk) is a city in France, in the Hauts-de-France region, on the border with Belgium. The municipality had 86,788 inhabitants on 1 January 2021. Dunkirk is a sub-prefecture of the North department (Département du Nord) and the capital of the arrondissement of the same name, which roughly corresponds to the French Westhoek.

Dunkirk is located on the North Sea (between the Opal Coast and the Flemish Dunes Coast); its port is the third largest in France, after those of Marseille and Le Havre. Between 40 and 50 million tonnes of cargo are transhipped in the port each year. The urban agglomeration of Dunkirk, which also includes the municipalities of Groot-Sinten (Grande-Synthe), Saint-Pol-sur-Mer, Nieuw-Coudekerke (Coudekerque-Branche), Leffrinkhoeke (Leffrinckoucke), Kapelle (Cappelle-la-Grande) and Fort-Mardijk (Fort-Mardyck), has 265,974 inhabitants. Dunkirk is therefore an important centre for the entire region, even in Belgium.

The Belfry of Dunkirk at the Dunkirk Town Hall is one of the two belfries in the city. This 75-metre-high bell tower was inaugurated in 1901 by French President Émile Loubet and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.

The belfry is part of the Dunkirk Town Hall, which was designed by Louis-Marie Cordonnier. On the first floor is a stained glass window depicting the Battle of Texel, in which the Dunkirk privateer Jan Baert also took part. On the rear facade is a monumental gate dating from the 17th century.

The belfry is part of the World Heritage listing of belfries in Belgium and France.
