Helden (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦɛldə(n)] ; Limburgish: Helje) is a village located in the province of Limburg in southeastern Netherlands. The village dates back to the tenth century at least, and a local variation of Limburgish is still spoken by some of the population.

Helden and twin city Panningen previously belonged to the Helden municipality, but in 2010 they joined other municipalities to form the new municipality of Peel en Maas.
