Oeffelt is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant, part of the Boxmeer municipality, about 5 km north of Boxmeer town and 6 km west of the border with the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Oeffelt was a separate municipality until 1994, when it became part of Boxmeer.[1] The settlement Oeffelt was first mentioned in a document in 1075 as Uflo. This could be a combination from the Keltish words uffa (water) and ten (settlement), indicating a settlement by the Meuse river, which nowadays runs between Oeffelt on the west bank and Gennep – in the province of Limburg – on the east bank. The villages are connected by a bridge in the N264 road.
