Oudenhoorn is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is part of the municipality of Voorne aan Zee and lies about 3 km east of Hellevoetsluis.
The village was first mentioned in 1356 as "den Hoorn". The current name means "old corner (of a dike)". The eponymous polder was created in 1356 by order of Machteld van Voorne. Oud (old) has been added to distinguish from Nieuwenhoorn.
