Berendrecht (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbeːrə(n)drɛxt] ⓘ) is a neighbourhood and former village in Antwerp province in Belgium.

For many years dike builders has fought with primitive resources to protect the inhabitants against the violence of water.

In 1328 Berendrecht was devoured by water, and was moved to higher land which was ceded by the municipality Zandvliet.

The village suffered much from foreign armies and lay often in the direct line of fire during the fight between the northern Netherlands and the Spaniards.

In 1958, Berendrecht and Zandvliet and Lillo were joined at Antwerp and the polder landscape was mainly expropriated for the port extension.
