Willem II, also known as Willem II Tilburg, is a football club based in Tilburg, North Brabant, Netherlands. The team was founded in 1896 as Tilburgia. In 1898, the club was renamed Willem II, after Dutch King William II of the Netherlands. As Prince of Orange and commander of the Dutch army, he had his military headquarters in Tilburg.

Notable former players for the club include Dutch internationals Jaap Stam and Marc Overmars. The club's shirt consists of red-white-blue horizontal stripes, inspired by the colours of the flag of the Netherlands.

Opened in 1995, Willem II plays its home matches in the Koning Willem II Stadion, also named after the King.
