Ennigerloh (Westphalian: Iänigerlau) is a town in the district of Warendorf, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located approximately 25 km northeast of Hamm and 30 km southeast of Münster.
The town is set in an agricultural area, and has a well-preserved medieval town centre. However, it became an industrial town in the 20th century and had several cement factories. Some of the latter ones were closed down towards the end of the century. Furniture manufacturing was also a significant industry.
