Maaskantje (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmaːskɑntʃə]) is a village in the Dutch province North Brabant. The village is part of the municipality Sint-Michielsgestel, south east of 's-Hertogenbosch.

The village has about 1,600 inhabitants. Maaskantje is linked together with the village Den Dungen. Before 1996, Maaskantje was part of the municipality of Sint-Michielsgestel instead of the municipality of Den Dungen. In 1996, Den Dungen became part of Sint-Michielsgestel.

The Dutch Comedy Central sketch show New Kids that takes place in the village has generated tourism to the village. The village's signs were stolen by New Kids fans and the municipality decided not to replace them.
