The Gelderse Hout is a nature reserve of approximately 150 hectares in the Dutch municipality of Lelystad. The area is located between the Gelderse Diep and the Lage Vaart on the south side, the Oostervaart on the east side and the Boswijk on the west side. The Oostrand Park is located north of the nature reserve.

The Gelderse Hout belongs - together with the Zuigerplasbos northwest of Lelystad, the Hollandse Hout southwest of Lelystad and the Visvijverbos northeast of Lelystad - to the urban forests of Lelystad.
