Illingen is a municipality in the district of Neunkirchen, in Saarland, Germany. It is situated approx. 10 km northwest of Neunkirchen, and 17 km northeast of Saarbrücken. Since 1974, the villages of Hirzweiler, Hüttigweiler, Uchtelfangen, Welschbach and Wustweiler have been part of the Illingen community.

Illingen is a large, well maintained village with a pleasant castle complex, including a small modern Hotel with restaurant. The village St. Stephan church is very old and worth a visit. There are two train stops (Illingen and Gennweiler). Trains travel in the direction of Saarbrücken to the south and Lebach-Jabach to the north. The earliest written documentation which exists about Illingen is from the late 9th century AD. The Freiherr von Kerpen lived in the castle until the late 1800s.
