IJsselmonde is a river island between the Nieuwe Maas, Noord and Oude Maas branches rivers of the Rhine-Meuse delta in the Dutch province of South Holland. The city of Rotterdam now occupies most of the northern part of the island and includes the eponymous former village of IJsselmonde, once a separate community. The island was once a rich agricultural region, but is mostly suburbs today. Only the mid-south parts of the island have retained their agricultural character.
IJsselmonde may refer to:
- IJsselmonde (island), an island near Rotterdam, Netherlands
- IJsselmonde (village), a former village on the island of IJsselmonde
- IJsselmonde (Rotterdam), one of the boroughs of Rotterdam
IJsselmonde is a former village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It was located to the east of the city of Rotterdam. The village ("IJssel mouth") derives its name from the river Hollandsche IJssel, which flows into the Nieuwe Maas opposite from the village. The village gives its name to the large island it's on, IJsselmonde.
IJsselmonde was a separate municipality until 1941, when it merged with Rotterdam. In the area of the municipality, a large residential area was built, which is now the IJsselmonde borough of Rotterdam.
