The Place du Jeu de Balle (French, pronounced; "Ball Game Square") or Vossenplein (Dutch, pronounced; "Foxes' Square") is a square in the heart of the Marolles/Marollen district of Brussels, Belgium. Since 1873, it has held a famous flea market, known as the Old Market.

The area around the square is characterised by the presence of restaurants and typical Brussels cafés. It can be accessed from Brussels-Chapel railway station, the metro and premetro (underground tram) station Porte de Hal/Hallepoort (on lines 2, 4, 6 and 10), as well as the bus stop Jeu de Balle/Vossenplein (on lines 48 and 52).
