Kruisland is a village in the municipality of Steenbergen in the province of North Brabant, in the Netherlands. It is located between Roosendaal and Steenbergen.
The village was first mentioned in 1501 as Cruyslande, and is named after the polder in which it is situation. The etymology is unknown.[3] The village has been built landwards, because the city of Steenbergen wanted a harbour.
