Robelmont is a historic village in the Belgian province of Luxembourg, now part of the municipality of Meix-devant-Virton. The asteroid 1145 Robelmonte is named after the village, in honour of the astronomer Sylvain Arend (1902–1992), who was born there.

The current parish church, dedicated to St Martin, was built in 1894.[2]
During the Battle of the Ardennes (21-23 August 1914), there was fighting in and around Robelmont between French and German forces.
