t Zandt (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /ət ˈsɑnt/; t Zaand pronounced as /gos/) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Eemsdelta.

The village was first mentioned in 1257 as "in Sonde", and means sand. That year, the monks of started to a dike in order to polder the former Fivel estuary. The polder was completed in 1266, and a sluice was constructed in 1272.[3] At the intersection of the new dike and the perpendicular older dike, a settlement appeared.[4]
