Winkelomheide, also called De Hei, is a village in the city of Geel, in the Belgian province of Antwerp. It is also the largest parish in the city of Geel. The Grote Nete runs to the west, the Albert Canal to the south.

Winkelomheide originated from the town of Winkelom, which is located on the Grote Nete.
