The '''Dutch Block''' ({{langx|nl|Nederlands Blok}}, '''NB''') was a [Dutch](/source/Politics_of_the_Netherlands) [nationalist](/source/nationalism) [political party](/source/political_party) espousing an [anti-immigrant](/source/Opposition_to_immigration) program. It was founded by [Alfred Vierling](/source/Alfred_Vierling), [Ton Steemers](/source/Ton_Steemers) en [Hans Lindenburg](/source/Hans_Lindenburg), modeled on the [Flemish Block](/source/Flemish_Block) and later taken over by [Wim Vreeswijk](/source/Wim_Vreeswijk), who became [council member](/source/city_council) in Utrecht.

The party was founded in 1992. It had a seat in the municipal council of [Utrecht](/source/Utrecht_(city)) from 1994 to 2000, where Wim Vreeswijk was elected. From 1994 to 1997, it also had a seat in [Almelo](/source/Almelo). The elected councillor there, Henry Oudendijk, was originally a member of [Centrum Democraten](/source/Centrum_Democraten), but changed parties after two months; in March 1997, he left Nederlands Blok and continued as an independent member.
