Altena is a municipality in the Netherlands, on a river island in the very north of the province of North Brabant, bordering the provinces of Gelderland and South Holland. Nearby cities are Dordrecht in the west, Gorinchem in the north (both in South Holland), and Waalwijk in the south.
The municipality was formed on 1 January 2019, by the merger of the municipalities of Aalburg, Werkendam, and Woudrichem. Werkendam is the largest town, and the small city of Woudrichem the historical centre of Altena. The village of Almkerk serves as the municipal seat and lies in the middle of the municipality.
Altena can be characterized as a rural community, with population centres mainly concentrated along the surrounding waterways. These waterways are (clockwise, starting in the west): Nieuwe Merwede, Boven Merwede, Afgedamde Maas, Heusdensch Kanaal, Bergsche Maas, and Amer.
De Biesbosch National Park is partially situated in the western part of Altena.
The municipality of Altena is to a large extent identical to the region of the Land van Heusden en Altena. Only De Biesbosch area, existing of the aforementioned De Biesbosch National Park and polders above, falls outside. Waterway Steurgat largely forms the boundary.
