    Vierlingsbeek (dialect: Béék[2]) is a place in the municipality of Land van Cuijk in the Dutch province of North Brabant, between the Peel and the Maas.

    Until 1998, the village was part of the municipality of Vierlingsbeek (with, in addition to the town of the same name, the centers of Overloon, Groeningen, Maashees, Holthees and Vortum-Mullem), which was merged into the municipality of Boxmeer on January 1, 1998. The latter municipality was merged into the newly formed municipality of Land van Cuijk on January 1, 2022.

    The name of the village is most likely derived from the Molenbeek that flows through the village and the wealthy Vielinc family who lived there.

      Because Vierlingsbeek was located on the Roman highway from Nijmegen to Maastricht, the influence of the Romans is present here. Urns from the Gallo-Roman period have been found on the cover sand ridge between Vierlingsbeek and Maashees. Roman coins were also found there. The Langstraat is said to be part of the former Roman highway.

      Vierlingsbeek was very popular with King William I, who visited the reformed parsonage.

        Vierlingsbeek is located in the Maas valley, a few hundred meters from this river. The Molenbeek flows south of Vierlingsbeek, on which the Beekse Molen was located.

        The area along the Maas north of the village is remarkable. This nature reserve is officially called Bergjes but is better known as Maasheggen.

        The Dokterskuul, a swampy area, is located at the mouth of the Molenbeek in the Maas.

        There is a railway line west of Vierlingsbeek and the Sint-Jansbeek also flows there. The area around the village consists mainly of agricultural land, with some forest plots and swamp groves along the Molenbeek.

        Vierlingsbeek is located on the Pieterpad.
