Ellikom (Limburgish: Elekom) is a sub-municipality of Oudsbergen in Belgian Limburg; it was an independent municipality until the municipal reorganization of 1971, when it became a sub-municipality of Meeuwen. Ellikom is situated on the eastern bank of the Abeek, forming a wedge between Bree and Peer.
Ellikom is one of the oldest settlements in the Limburg Kempen. It was first mentioned in a written source in 1314 as "Elleken". This name was derived from the Germanic "Aljinga Haim" or "dwelling of the people of Alja". This indicates that Ellikom was already inhabited by the Franks.
