Dussen is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is a part of the municipality of Altena, and is located about 12 km south of Gorinchem. Dussen Castle is located near the village.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1156 as Iacobus de Dussan, and has been named after a distributary of the Meuse. The etymology of the river is clear. Dussen was destroyed by the St. Elizabeth's flood of 1421. In the late-15th century, the land was reclaimed by poldering. It was flooded again in 1892 and severely damaged in 1944 and 1945 during World War II.
