Halanzy (French pronunciation: [alɑ̃zi]; Gaumais: Halazi; Luxembourgish: Hueldang;^[1] German: Holdingen) is a village of Wallonia and a district of the municipality of Aubange, located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.

The history of Halanzy is connected to the mining of iron ore in the area. A memorial of its past as a mining town is the preserved early steam locomotive in the town centre. The village church dates from 1844, and there is also a chapel built in 1725 in gratitude for the village being spared from the cholera epidemy in 1720. Similarly, a calvary group in the village was erected to celebrate that the village was spared destruction during World War I.^[2]
