Saint-Idesbald ({{IPA|fr|sɛ̃tidɛsbal}}; {{langx|nl|Sint-Idesbald}}) a village at the Belgian West Coast, part of Koksijde, which also includes Oostduinkerke. Its name refers to Saint Idesbald (or Idesbaldus), a 12th-century abbot of the Abbey of Ten Duinen.
In 1931, George Grard set up his studio at Saint-Idesbald, where his house became a rendezvous of artists including Pierre Caille, the Haesaerts brothers, Edgard Tytgat and Paul Delvaux.
In 1982, the Paul Delvaux Museum opened in Saint-Idesbald.{{cite book |last=Barthelman |first=Z. |year=2007 |title=Paul Delvaux: Odyssey of a Dream |location=Saint-Idesbald |publisher=BAI and Foundation Paul Delvaux |page=236 |isbn=978-90-8586-407-3 }}
