Kattendijke is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is located in the municipality of Goes on the Oosterschelde about 5 km northeast of the city of Goes.

== History == The village was first mentioned in 1214 as Cattindic. The etymology is unclear. The flood of 1134 resulted in large inundated areas around Kattendijke. The Cistercians monks from abbey Ter Doel started to build dikes and polder the land. Kattendijke developed into a heerlijkheid.
