The Place du Luxembourg (French, pronounced [plas dy lyk.sɑ̃.buʁ]) or Luxemburgplein (Dutch, pronounced [ˈlʏksəmbʏrɡˌplɛin]), meaning "Luxembourg Square", is a square in the European Quarter of Brussels, Belgium. It is better known by local European bureaucrats and journalists by one of its nicknames, Place Lux or Plux. The square is mostly located in the municipality of Ixelles, with a small part in the City of Brussels, between the Rue d'Arlon/Aarlenstraat and the Rue du Luxembourg/Luxemburgstraat. In its centre stands the Monument to John Cockerill. It is also flanked by the European Parliament, as well as some of the main European institutions in the city. This area is served by Brussels-Luxembourg railway station, as well as by the metro stations Schuman (on lines 1 and 5) and Trône/Troon (on lines 2 and 6).
