The Waaslandcross is a cyclo-cross race held in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. First held for men in the 2002–2003 season, it was traditionally held on 2 January. This caused troubles in the 2010–2011 season when it coincided with a cross in Tervuren, eventually leading to the cancelling of the event. The next season also did not see an edition. The event was held once again in the 2012–2013 season, this time in December. Since 2014 a race for women is organized as well. The first few editions of the cross were known as Grand Prix De Ster Sint-Niklaas or GP De Ster Sint-Niklaas.
The Waasland cross has been part of the Exact Cross series since 2021.
