Historically, '''Brabant''' has been the name of several administrative entities in the [[Low Countries]] with quite different geographical extent:
* The Carolingian [[pagus]] Bracbatensis, located between the rivers [[Scheldt]] and [[Dijle]] between the 9th and 11th century;
* [[Brabant (landgraviat)]], the part of the pagus between the rivers [[Dender]] and Dijle (from 1085/1086 up to 1183/1184);
* [[Duchy of Brabant]]: territory established in 1183-84, covering approximately the present Dutch province North Brabant and the three Belgian provinces [[Antwerp (province)|Antwerp]], [[Walloon Brabant]] and [[Flemish Brabant]], and the [[Brussels-Capital Region]].
* [[Province of Brabant]] in Belgium, which in 1995 was split up into Flemish Brabant and Walloon Brabant.
* [[North Brabant]], a province of the Netherlands.
* [[East Brabant]], the Brabant area East of Brussels, also referred to as the Hageland (= the area between the 4 cities Leuven, Aarschot, Diest and Tienen)
* [[Klein Brabant]], the municipalities Bornem, Puurs and Sint-Amands in the Antwerp province of Flanders.
Along the international border between the Netherlands and Belgium there are a few [[enclave]]s and [[exclave]]s, as relicts of the old duchy of Brabant: the municipalities [[Baarle-Hertog]] (Belgium) and [[Baarle-Nassau]] (Netherlands).
