The Seven Noble Houses of Brussels (French : Sept lignages de Bruxelles, Dutch : Zeven geslachten van Brussel) were the seven families of Brussels whose descendants formed the city's patrician class, to whom special privileges were granted until the end of the Ancien Régime. Together with the Guilds of Brussels, they formed the city's bourgeoisie.
