Vlodrop (Limburgish and town dialect: Vlórp) is a town in the south-eastern part of The Netherlands in the municipality of Roerdalen. The town is situated near the German border, about 8 km southeast of Roermond.

Vlodrop was a separate municipality until 1991, when it was merged with Melick en Herkenbosch.[1]

In 2001, Vlodrop had 1995 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.51 km², and contained 850 residences.[2]

In 1990, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation program, moved his headquarters to the grounds of the former monastery, Kolleg St. Ludwig[3][4][5][6] and it became the home of Maharishi European Research University.

The world-famous roller coaster manufacturer Vekoma is based in Vlodrop.
