Schouwen-Duiveland ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a municipality and an island in the southwestern Netherlands.

The Brouwersdam is a dam, part of the Delta Works, from Schouwen-Duiveland to Goedereede, the west part of the island of Goeree-Overflakkee in South Holland.

There is no village called Schouwen-Duiveland itself — the municipality takes its name from the island, which itself got its name when the former islands Schouwen and Duiveland (and Dreischor) were poldered together.
