Stad aan 't Haringvliet (coord|51|44|N|4|15|E|type:city(1068)) is a town in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Middelharnis, and lies about 12 km southeast of Hellevoetsluis. The name means "City on the Haringvliet". From 1812 to 1817 it was part of municipality Den Bommel, and it was a separate municipality until 1966 when it was merged with Middelharnis.

The built-up area of the town was 0.23 km², and contained 425 residences.Statistics Netherlands (CBS), "Bevolkingskernen in Nederland 2001" [http://www.cbs.nl/nl-NL/menu/themas/milieu-natuur-ruimte/ruimte/publicaties/cartografie-geografie/geografische-data/2001-bevolkingskernen-in-nederland.htm] .

Because of its location on the water, it is very suitable for aquatic sports. The street "Voorstraat" is painted by the Dutch painter Rien Poortvliet for his book "Langs het tuinpad van mijn vaderen". This street also has the former town hall that ceased to be used as such in 1966 when the municipality Stad aan 't Haringvliet was merged. Other attractions are the Dutch Reformed Church, the former doctors' house from 1876 and the windmill "De Korenaar" from 1746, which is still working.
