Mutsaard, also known as the Pagoda Quarter or De Wand, is an old hamlet and a historic neigbourhood of Brussels, Belgium. Located between Laeken and Neder-over-Heembeek and centred around the Place du Mutsaert/Mutsaertplaats or Mutsaardplein, it is separated from the rest of Laeken by the Royal Domain and is the site of the Museums of the Far East. The district also extends a little into the neighbouring Flemish municipalities of Vilvoorde and Grimbergen.
