Sint-Oedenrode (Dutch pronunciation: [sɪnt ˈudə(n)roːdə] ^ⓘ) is a town in the Dutch province of North Brabant.

Sint-Oedenrode is a moderately urbanized town in the Meierij of 's-Hertogenbosch. Sint-Oedenrode had a population of 18,360 as of 2021 and has an area of 64.94 km² (25.07 sq mi). On 1 January 2017 Sint-Oedenrode, together with Schijndel and Veghel, merged into a new municipality called Meierijstad, creating the largest municipality of the North-Brabant province in terms of land area.^[3]

The municipality traditionally had "vrijheidsrechten" (a predecessor of city rights), since 1232, until the abolishment of the privileges and introduction of the Municipalities Act in 1851. In those feudal times Sint-Oedenrode was referred to as a "Vlek" (market town). Today it is still a large town. From southeast to northwest, the town is split by the river Dommel.^[4]
