'''Sluis''' ({{IPA|nl|slœys|lang|248 Sluis.ogg}}; {{langx|zea|label=[[Zeelandic]]|Sluus}} {{IPA|zea|slys|}}; {{langx|fr|Écluse}}) is a [[city]] and [[Municipalities of the Netherlands|municipality]] located in the west of [[Zeelandic Flanders]], in the south-western Dutch province of [[Zeeland]].

The current incarnation of the municipality has existed since 1 January 2003. The former municipalities of [[Oostburg]] and [[Sluis-Aardenburg]] merged on that date. The latter of these two municipalities was formed from a merger between the previous municipality named Sluis and the former municipality of Aardenburg in 1995.
