Capelle (also Kapelle[1]) is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located about 6 km west of Waalwijk.

The village was first mentioned in 1257 as Capella, and means chapel.[2] The original village was flooded in the St. Elizabeth's flood of 1421. The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1750 and has a wooden domed tower.[3]

Capelle was home to 144 people in 1840.[1] Capelle was a separate municipality until 1923, when it merged with Sprang and Vrijhoeve-Capelle. They formed the new municipality of Sprang-Capelle, which existed until 1997.[4] The village was flooded during the North Sea flood of 1953 and 42 people died. The municipality decided not to rebuild the village.[1] Since 1997 Capelle has been part of the municipality of Waalwijk.[4]
