Koedijk is a village in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. It is now part of both Alkmaar and of Dijk en Waard, but before 1972, those two parts were a separate municipality that was first mentioned in the 14th century. Koedijk is most famous for its annual gondelvaart (gondola parade) on the third Saturday of August.
The name Koedijk means cow dyke. The Coedijc was the dike that protected the village of Vronen from the waters of the Rekere (or Recker), a tidal stream that ran about where the Noordhollandsch Kanaal is now located.
