'''Hellevoetsluis''' ({{IPA|nl|ˌɦɛləvutˈslœys|-|Nl-Hellevoetsluis.ogg}}) is a town and former municipality in the west of [[Netherlands]]. It is located in [[Voorne-Putten]], [[South Holland]]. The former municipality covered an area of {{convert|{{Dutch municipality total area|Hellevoetsluis}}|km2|abbr=on}} of which {{convert|{{Dutch municipality water area|Hellevoetsluis}}|km2|abbr=on}} was water and it included the population centres of [[Nieuw-Helvoet]], [[Nieuwenhoorn]], and [[Oude en Nieuwe Struiten]], all former municipalities.

Hellevoetsluis is located on the [[Haringvliet]] with the sea, beach, and dunes close by, on the extreme southern edge of the [[South Holland#Subdivisions|Rijnmond]] and [[Europoort]] areas, close to the broad [[Zeeland]] landscape. The name translates as "[[lock (water transport)|lock]] at the foot of the Helle". The Helle was a small local river that disappeared over time.

On 1 January 2023, the municipality of Hellevoetsluis merged with [[Brielle]] and [[Westvoorne]] into the new municipality of [[Voorne aan Zee]].
