Ittre (Dutch: Itter; Walloon: Ite) is a Walloon municipality located in the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant. Since the Fusion of the Belgian municipalities in 1977, the entity has brought together three villages: Haut-Ittre, Ittre, and Virginal-Samme.

Ittre was the geographical center of Belgium until World War I. The geographical center was moved to Walhain due to the allocation of the East Cantons (Eupen-Malmédy) to Belgium (Treaty of Versailles).
