Het Defensie-eiland is een schiereiland in de Nederlandse stad Woerden, gelegen tussen station Woerden en het centrumgebied.

Ligging
Het eiland met een omvang van circa 3 hectare is omringd door water, namelijk door de binnen- en de buitengracht, die beide in verbinding staan met de Oude Rijn. Aan de oostzijde van het eiland stroomt het riviertje de Korte Linschoten in de Rijn. De vorm van het terrein is ontstaan door het gedeeltelijk dempen van de vroegere binnen- en buitengracht die rondom Woerden lopen. De stervormige structuur van het retranchement is daarbij verdwenen, evenals een deel van de gracht rondom het kasteel.

------------------
The Defence Island is a peninsula in the Dutch city of Woerden, located between Woerden railway station and the city centre.

Location
The island, with a size of approximately 3 hectares, is surrounded by water, namely by the inner and outer moat, both of which are connected to the Old Rhine. On the eastern side of the island, the small river Korte Linschoten flows into the Rhine. The shape of the terrain was created by partially filling in the former inner and outer moats that run around Woerden. The star-shaped structure of the retrenchment disappeared in the process, as did part of the moat around the castle.
