Gelselaar is a village in the municipality of Berkelland in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The village is known for its geese. In 2013, it became a protected village site.

== History == It was first mentioned in 1326 as Geldersler, and either means forest of Gelle (person) or forest of Gelre (Gelderland), because it is located near the border with Overijssel. Gelselaar developed into an esdorp with a communal pasture in the 19th century.
