Someren (Brabantian: Zummere) is a village in the Peel Region in North Brabant. It lies next to the heathland and fens of the Somerense Heide and the Strabrechtse Heide, and close to the border with Limburg.
The municipality of Someren has almost 20,000 inhabitants (19,428 in 2021), and a little over half of them live in the main village, Someren-Dorp. Besides the main village the municipality has three smaller villages: Lierop (about 2,300 inhabitants, centred on its domed church), Someren-Eind and Someren-Heide (about 1,400 inhabitants).
Someren-Dorp has a compact centre around the Wilhelminaplein and Postelstraat, with shops, cafés with terraces and a theatre. The Zuid-Willemsvaart canal runs along the border with Limburg, and the heathland and fens of the Somerense Heide and Strabrechtse Heide are close by.
