Wahlwiller is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Gulpen-Wittem.[1] The village is located south of the Selzerbeek.

The name of the village is derived from villare, what means "belonging to a villa". In the 14th century the village is mentioned under names as Waelwilre, Wailwilre and Walwilre. The prefix "wael" indicates that the inhabitants were speaking a Walloon language.[2]

On the northern side of the village lies the Kruisberg, of Amstel Gold Race fame.[1]
