Waspik is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Waalwijk.
== History == Waspik was first mentioned in 1257 as Waspich, and means "headland in the mud". Waspik was established in the 12th century in a peat excavation area. It was severely damaged in the St. Elizabeth's flood of 1421 and the village started to concentrate more southwards.
