Limbricht (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA". locally spelled Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. Part of the municipality of Sittard-Geleen, it is about three kilometres northwest of Sittard.

The village was first mentioned in 1224 as de Lumburg. The etymology is unclear.[1] Limbricht developed in the Middle Ages to the south of the motte-and-bailey castle Lemborgh. In the 20th century, it developed as a mining town.[2][1]

Limbricht Castle possibly dates from the 10th century. The current castle dates from around 1630 and is built in a mannerist style. The eastern wing was destroyed during World War II, but rebuilt between 1968 and 1978.[2]

Limbricht was home to 554 people in 1840.[3] was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Sittard.[4]
