The Lordship of Wickrath (sometimes spelled "Wykradt") was a lordship of the Holy Roman Empire located in western North Rhine-Westphalia around the castle of Wickrath. The lordship was bordered by the Duchy of Jülich to the south, west and north, and the Archbishopric of Cologne or Highbishoprick of Coln to the east. Wickrath became an immediate lordship in 1488 after it passed to the Knights of Hompesch. It was located in the Lower Rhenish-Westphalian Circle, and from 1752 it was an Imperial Estate with a vote in the Bench of Counts of Westphalia.
