Marche-les-Dames (French pronunciation: [maʁʃ le dam]; Walloon: Måtche-les-Dames) is a sub-municipality of the city of Namur located in the province of Namur, Wallonia, Belgium. It was a separate municipality until 1977. On 1 January 1977, it was merged into Namur.
It is located downstream of the Sambre confluence, on the left bank of the Meuse river. Because of the high cliffs this place is popular with rock climbers.
