Ganzert is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 8 km southwest of Veenendaal.

It was first mentioned in 1899 as Ganzert (De). The first part means goose, the second part can be either "land near water" or "farmland".[3] The postal authorities have placed it under Ingen.[4] Even though, it is outside the build-up area, it has place name signs with a 30 km/h speed limit.[5]
