Champion (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃pjɔ̃] ^ⓘ; Walloon: Tchampion) is a sub-municipality of the city of Namur located in the province of Namur, Wallonia, Belgium. It was a separate municipality until 1977. On 1 January 1977, it was merged into Namur.^[1]

The unincorporated area of Champion in Green Bay, Wisconsin in the United States was named for this town by Adele Brice, an emigré from that region; it hosts a shrine to a Marian apparition she experienced there.
