Éleu-dit-Leauwette is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France.
A suburban township, situated just 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the centre of Lens, at the junction of the D55, D58 and the A211 autoroute.
Completely destroyed during World War I and awarded the Croix de Guerre in 1920, this town was once home to many coal miners but is now a light industrial and dormitory commune.
