Loerbeek is a village in the eastern Netherlands, near the German border. It belongs to the municipality of Montferland just like the adjescent villages Beek and Nieuw-Dijk, near the lower parts of the Bergherbos, a large forest with hills, where people can walk, mountain-bike and ride horses.

It was first mentioned in 1240 as Loberke. The etymology is unknown.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/loerbeek |title=Loerbeek - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}}
