Sint Pancras (West Frisian: Sundebankreas) is a town in the northwestern Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Langedijk, North Holland, about 5 km northeast of Alkmaar.
The village was founded in the 14th century, after the village of Vronen was destroyed in a battle between Holland and West Friesland.
