Kaag is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Kaag en Braassem, and lies about 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) northeast of Leiden.

The village of Kaag lies on an island called Kagereiland in the Kager Lakes (Kagerplassen). To reach De Kaag, a ferry can be taken from Buitenkaag all year or Zevenhuizen in the summer months.

De Kaag is also part of an area called the Duin- en Bollenstreek ("Dune and Bulb Region").

The village is conventionally referred to as "De Kaag", but the name reported on both English and Dutch maps is just "Kaag".
