Sint-Annaland is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is part of the municipality of Tholen, and lies about 18 km northwest of Bergen op Zoom.

== History == The village was first mentioned in 1493 as Sint Annenlant, and is named after Saint Anne, the patron saint of Anna van Bourgondië who ordered the poldering of the land. Sint Annaland developed after the salt marshes of the Oudelandpolder were diked in 1476. In 1668, the Suzannapolder, named after the daughter of Constantijn Huygens, was reclaimed and a harbour was added to the village.
