Milheeze (dialect: Milles) is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant and is part of the municipality of Gemert-Bakel.

The village was first mentioned in 1332 as Milleis. The etymology is unclear.[3] Milheeze developed in the Late Middle Ages around a chapel. The chapel was replaced by the St Willibrordus Church in 1844-1845 which was built on the foundations of the chapel.[4]

Milheeze was home to 579 people in 1840.[5] The monastery Mariaoord was founded in Milheeze in 1935.[4] The village was part of the municipality Bakel en Milheeze until 1966 when it was merged into Gemert-Bakel.[5]
