Nieuwdorp is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Borsele, and lies about 9 km east of Middelburg.

== History == The village was first mentioned around 1750 as Het Nieuwe Dorp, and means "new village". Nieuw (new) has been added to distinguish from 's-Heer Arendskerke which was colloquially called Oudedorp. Nieuwdorp is a dike village which appeared after the West-Kraayertpolder was poldered in 1642 and Nieuwe Kraayertpolder was added in 1675. The village is centred around a large square.
