Jeuk (French: Goyer) is a sub-municipality of the Belgian municipality of Gingelom in the province of Limburg. Boekhout was added to Jeuk in 1971. Until 1977, Jeuk was an independent municipality on the language border in the Haspengouw region. Jeuk includes hamlets such as Hasselbroek, Heiselt, Hundelingen, Jeuk-Station and Klein-Jeuk.

Jeuk was first mentioned in 1125, as Gou (hence the French name Goyer), and in 1213 Joek also appeared. The name could have a Gallo-Roman origin: Gaudiacum, belonging to Goudius.
