Goes (Dutch pronunciation: [ɣus] ⓘ) is a city and municipality in the southwestern Netherlands on Zuid-Beveland, in the province of Zeeland.

The village grew fast, and in the early 12th century it had a market square and a church devoted to Mary Magdalene.

In the autumn of 1572, during the course of the Eighty Years' War, Goes, in the Spanish Netherlands, was besieged by Dutch forces with the support of English troops.

The siege was relieved in October 1572 by Spanish tercios, who waded across the Scheldt to attack the besieging forces.

Although the Netherlands were neutral in the First World War, seven bombs hit Goes and Kloetinge, due to an error by a British airplane.
