Maurik is a town in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 8 km north of Tiel.

== History == The village was first mentioned around 300 as Mannaricio, and since 997 as Maldericke. The etymology is unclear, and the relation between the oldest form which is possibly Celtic and the current name is also in doubt. Maurik developed in the Early Middle Ages along the Nederrijn.
