Zuid-Polsbroek is a former village and municipality in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It existed between 1817 and 1857, when it merged with Noord-Polsbroek to form a single municipality Polsbroek.[1]

Zuid-Polsbroek was the southern half of Polsbroek, south of the small river the Benschopse Wetering. Around 1850, the municipality had a population of about 290, 140 of which lived in the village itself.[2]

Paulus Theodorus van Brussel, painter of fruit and vegetables, was born in Zuid-Polsbroek in 1754.
