The Arrondissement of Mouscron (French: Arrondissement de Mouscron; Dutch: Arrondissement Moeskroen) is one of the seven administrative arrondissements in the Walloon province of Hainaut, Belgium. It is not a judicial arrondissement. Its municipalities are a part of the Judicial Arrondissement of Tournai.
