Moerdijk is a village in the municipality of Moerdijk, in the Dutch province of North Brabant. In 2005, the village had 1322 inhabitants.
Before 1997, the village was divided between two municipalities: the western part belonged to Klundert, and the eastern part to Hooge en Lage Zwaluwe. During the municipal reorganization of 1997, Moerdijk, together with the municipalities of Klundert, Willemstad, and Fijnaart, was merged into the municipality of Zevenbergen. In 1998, this municipality changed its name to Moerdijk.
In 2025, it was announced that the village would be demolished to make way for an expansion in the Moerdijk port-industrial area, which the government claimed was designated to be a key hub for the future of energy infrastructure in the country, and development will begin in 2028.
Moerdijk lies on the southern side of the Moerdijk bridges and the Service Tunnel Hollandsch Diep.
