The Walloon Parliament (French: Parlement wallon), formerly the Walloon Regional Council (Conseil régional wallon), is the Parliament of the Walloon Region, commonly called Wallonia, one of the self-governing Regions of Belgium with Flanders and the Brussels-Capital Region. The parliament building, the former Hospice Saint-Gilles, is situated in Namur, the capital of the Walloon Region, at the symbolic confluence of the Meuse and the Sambre, the two main rivers of the most inhabited parts of the country, the Sillon industriel. On the other side of the Meuse, facing the Parliament, is the Élysette, the seat of the Walloon government.

All members of the Walloon Parliament are also members of the Parliament of the French Community, except for Monika Dethier-Neumann who represents the German-speaking population and is an advisory member of the Parliament of the German-speaking Community.
