Gersloot (Western Frisian: Gersleat) is a village in Heerenveen in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.
The village was first mentioned in 1281 as Gerslach and means tapered ditch.[3] It used to have a church, but it was demolished in 1735, and only the bell tower remains. In 1840, it was home to 146 people.[4] Before 1934, Gersloot was part of the Aengwirden municipality.[4]
