Orchies er en by i den franske afdeling Nord. Kommunen har et samlet areal på 10,9 km² og havde 8284 indbyggere i 2013. Nogle gange bliver navnet forvansket til Oorschie.
Orchies var et selvstændigt herred i grevskabet Flandern langs den meget gamle vej Arras-Tournai. Byen tilhørte Lille-Flandern, en region i de Sydlige Nederlande, som efter den Trediveårige Krig forblev under spansk herredømme. På tidspunktet for ekspansionerne under Ludvig XIV af Frankrig kom byen, ligesom Lille, Douai og Artois, i besiddelse af Frankrig.
