Nieuwland, Kortland, en 's-Graveland (often abbreviated to "Nieuwland c.a.") is a former municipality in the Dutch province of South Holland. It was located on three sides of the city of Schiedam. The municipality existed between 1817 and 1855.[1]

The municipality consisted of three polders: Kortland, west of Schiedam; Nieuwland, north of the city; and 's-Graveland, northeast of the city. Nieuwland is now the name of a neighbourhood of Schiedam, located in the former municipality.
