Stroodorp is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Noord-Beveland, and lies about 11 km northeast of Middelburg.[1]

Stroodorp is not a statistical entity,[2] and the postal authorities have placed it under Kamperland.[3] The hamlet consists of about 35 houses, but most are holiday homes, and only 6 are permanently inhabited.[4]

The hamlet was first mentioned in 1847 as Strooijedorp (Het), and means "straw village" after the straw covering of the temporary houses of the people who poldered the land.[5]
