Poederoijen is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Zaltbommel, and lies about 9 km southeast of Gorinchem. Poederoijen was a separate municipality until 1955, when it was merged with Brakel. Loevestein Castle is located in Poederoijen.
== History == It was first mentioned in 850 as in uilla. The etymology is unclear. The village developed along the Afgedamde Maas. The tower of the Dutch Reformed Church dates from the 15th century. The church itself was rebuilt in 1897 after a fire. In 1840, Poederoijen was home to 425 people. In 1861, the village was flooded, and 1897, a large part of Poederoijen was lost in a fire.
