Aulnoye-Aymeries (French pronunciation: [o(l)nwaɛm(ə)ʁi]; Picard: Auno-Aymeries) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. It was established in 1953 by the merger of the former communes Aulnoye and Aymeries.[3]

Before the opening of the high-speed railway line between Brussels and Paris, the railway station of Aulnoye-Aymeries was a major junction, where the lines Paris–Brussels and Calais–Lille–Thionville connected.
