Oud-Vossemeer (Zeelandic: Ou-Vossemaer) is a village on the island of Tholen in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Tholen, and lies about 13 km northwest of Bergen op Zoom, close to the Eendracht, part of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal. The ancestors of the American presidential family Roosevelt may have lived in Oud-Vossemeer. A monument honoring the Four Freedoms (formulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt) was placed in the center of the village. Oud-Vossemeer was a separate municipality until 1971, when it was merged with Tholen.
