The Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM, lit. 'Netherlands dock and shipbuilding company'), was a shipbuilding and repair company based in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It existed from 1946 to 1978, when it was merged into a daughter company of the Amsterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij NV.

From 1979 to 1985 the new company Amsterdamse Droogdok Maatschappij BV faced many problems. In 1985, it filed for bankruptcy. On the terrain a small company called ADM Naval Services (ANS) continued to operate for only a few years, before it vacated the premises.

The area of about 80 hectares (200 acres) has since 2013 been transformed into a city district as a distinct part of Amsterdam-Noord and is still under development. The industrial wharfs and structures have been replaced by apartment buildings and hospitality industry, still called NDSM.
