- Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery
The Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery ( _nl. Arrondissement Brussel-Randgemeenten) was an administrative arrondissement in the Belgian Province of Brabant.

The arrondissement was created in 1963, when the bilingual Arrondissement of Brussels was split up into three administrative arrondissements: the bilingual Arrondissement of Brussels-Capital, the unilingual Dutch-speaking Arrondissement of Halle-Vilvoorde and a peculiar arrondissement that officially didn't have a name, but was commonly referred to as Brussels-Periphery, and which comprised the six municipalities with language facilities around Brussels. It ceased to exist in 1971, when it was subsumed into Halle-Vilvoorde.
