The Boulevard Émile Jacqmain (French) or Émile Jacqmainlaan (Dutch) is a central boulevard in Brussels, Belgium. It was created following the covering of the river Senne (1867–1871), and bears the name of Émile Jacqmain, a former Alderman for Public Education.
The Boulevard Émile Jacqmain connects the Place de Brouckère/De Brouckèreplein to the Boulevard du Jardin botanique/Kruidtuinlaan and the Boulevard d'Anvers/Antwerpselaan, in the extension of the Boulevard Anspach/Anspachlaan. This area is served by the metro and premetro (underground tram) stations De Brouckère (on lines 1, 4, 5 and 10) and Rogier (on lines 2, 4, 6 and 10). Its northern section from the Boulevard Baudouin/Boudewijnlaan to the Place Gaucheret/Gaucheretplein was renamed the Boulevard du Roi Albert II/Koning Albert II-laan in 1999.
