The Woodrow Wilsonplein (English: Woodrow Wilson Square) is a city square in the centre of Ghent, East Flanders, Belgium. The square is colloquially called 't Zuid ("The South"), after its location just south of the historical city centre and the former Ghent-South railway station.

The Woodrow Wilsonplein is home to Ghent's largest shopping mall; Ghent South, which also serves as an office complex. On the south side of the square is the city's main administrative centre, the city library and a postal office. The Capitole, Ghent's largest theatre and event venue, is separated from the Woodrow Wilsonplein by the Graaf van Vlaanderenplein. The square borders the north side of the Zuidpark ("South Park"; not to be confused with the American adult animated series of the same name).
