Delfzijl (Dutch: [dɛl(ə)fˈsɛil]; Gronings: Delfsiel) is a city and former municipality in the province of Groningen, in the northeast of the Netherlands. Delfzijl was a sluice between the Delf and the Ems, which became a fortified settlement in the 16th century. The fortifications were removed in the late 19th century. Delfzijl is the fifth-largest seaport in the Netherlands, and the largest port in the North East of the country.

The name Delfzijl means 'sluice of the Delf'. The Delf was a canal connecting the rivers Fivel and Ems, and is now part of the Damsterdiep. The Dutch verb delven means 'to delve' or 'to dig' and the Dutch noun zijl means 'water outlet' or 'sluice'.
