Braine-l'Alleud (Dutch: Eigenbrakel) is a Walloon municipality located in Walloon Brabant in Belgium, about 20 kilometers south of Brussels.

The Church of Saint-Étienne is in the gothic style, dating from the 16th century. In 1815, part of the fighting that took place at the Battle of Waterloo actually occurred on the territory of Braine-l’Alleud. The town’s church of Saint-Étienne became a field hospital.
