Santpoort-Noord (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌsɑntpoːrt ˈnoːrt]; Santpoort North) is a village in the municipality of Velsen in the Dutch province of North Holland.

Santpoort developed in the dunes near the Brederode Castle (13th century).

Santpoort Noord’s history dates back to medieval times, with its name deriving from the word “sand,” indicative of its location near sand dunes.

The village’s development was significantly influenced by its proximity to the city of Haarlem and the strategic coastal defenses.
