Vierpolders is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Voorne aan Zee, and lies about 5 km north of Hellevoetsluis.
The name of the village, literally "four polders", refers to the municipality, that consisted of the polders Nieuwland, Veckhoek, Oud-Helvoet, and Oude-Gote. The village and the municipality were previously also named "Nieuwland". The village was first mentioned in 1843 as "de Vierpolders, gezegd Nieuwland".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/vierpolders |title=Vierpolders - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=3 May 2022 |language=nl}}
The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1721 to replace a medieval church which was probably a wooden church. It was extended between 1857 and 1858. It is currently in use by a funeral home.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/vierpolders |title=Vierpolders |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=3 May 2022 |language=nl}}
