ISO 3166-2:BE is the entry for Belgium in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g. provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for Belgium, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:
- 3 regions

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is BE, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Belgium. The second part is three letters. For the provinces, the first letter indicates the region where the province is in:
- V: Flemish Region (Dutch: Vlaams Gewest)
- W: Walloon Region (French: Région wallonne)
