Noorderkempen is a railway station near the town of Brecht, Antwerp, Belgium. The station opened on 15 June 2009 on the HSL 4 high speed line between the Netherlands and Belgium. The train services are operated by National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS).

The station makes the Kempen region north of Antwerp better connected with the city by train.

History

The station was due to open in September 2007 but this and several other deadlines were not met. The main reason given for this was the ECTS signalling not being approved for use. The station was opened in 2009 and is served by shuttle services between the station and Antwerp.

In the future it is hoped international services to the Netherlands will stop at the station.
