Velsen-Zuid ({{IPA|nl|ˌvɛlzə(n) ˈzœyt}}) is a town in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Velsen, and lies about 9 km north of Haarlem.
Velsen-Zuid developed around the church founded by Willibrord in the 8th century. Between 1865 and 1876, the North Sea Canal was dug and Velsen became two settlements.{{cite news|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu11_01/sten009monu11_01_0165.php |title=Velsen |author=Ronald Stenvert & Saskia van Ginkel-Meester |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |year=2006 |language=nl |access-date=2 May 2022}}
