Sint Kruis is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is located about 4 km east of Aardenburg, in the municipality of Sluis.

The village was first mentioned in 1270 as "jndie prochia van sint crues", and refers to the Holy Cross parish of the Saint Bavo's Abbey in Ghent.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/sintkruis |title=Sint Kruis - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=21 April 2022 |language=nl}}
