Fleurus er en by i provinsen Hainaut i Belgien. Byen har over 22.000 indbyggere. Fleurus ligger i den nordøstlige del af provinsen, et par kilometer nordøst for den urbane agglomeration Charleroi.
Fleurus har i løbet af historien flere gange været skueplads for krigshandlinger: slagene i 1622, 1690 og 1794. Hver gang drejede det sig om et angreb fra Nordfrankrig, første gang af en protestantisk hær, de to næste gange af en fransk styrke. Beliggende på nordsiden af Samber-dalen var Fleurus hver gang det første mødested med forsvaret. Det forsvar var flamsk-spansk i 1622, hollandsk-engelsk-spansk i 1690 og hollandsk-østrigsk i 1794. Også i 1815 lykkedes det Napoleon at krydse Samber her, før han blev stoppet ved Waterloo af en britisk-preussisk-hollandsk koalition.
