The Brussels ISIL terror cell are a group of people accused of involvement in large-scale terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 (130 killed) and Brussels in early 2016 (32 killed), as well as other attacks against European targets. The terror cell is connected to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a jihadist terrorist organisation primarily based in Syria and Iraq and led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Several Islamist terrorist attacks originated in Belgium, and a number of counter-terrorist operations had been carried out there. In 2014, a gunman with ties to the Syrian Civil War attacked the Jewish Museum of Belgium in Brussels, killing four people. In January 2015, anti-terrorist operations against a group thought to be planning a second Charlie Hebdo shooting included raids in Brussels and Zaventem, these operations resulted in the deaths of two suspects.

As of January 2015 Belgium had more nationals fighting for jihadist forces as a proportion of its population than any other Western European country, with an estimated 440 Belgians having left for Syria and Iraq. According to The Wall Street Journal, Belgium's weak security apparatus and competing intelligence agencies, made it become a hub of jihadist-recruiting and terrorist activity.
