West-Souburg is a neighbourhood of Vlissingen and former village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is part of the municipality of Vlissingen, and has been annexed by the city.
The village was first mentioned in 1162 as Sutburch, and used to mean "southern fortified place", because it was the most southern of three defensive structures to defend against the Vikings. West was added later to distinguish from Oost-Souburg. In 1873, the Canal through Walcheren was dug and the town was split into Oost- and West-Souburg.
