IJsselham is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 12 km west of Steenwijk, and 2 km southwest of Oldemarkt.
IJsselham lent its name to a former municipality, created in the merger of Blankenham, Kuinre, and Oldemarkt. The municipality merged with Steenwijk in 2001.[3]
It was first mentioned in 1245 as Sileham. Even though it seemingly relates to the IJssel River, there is no relation.[4] In 1840, it was home to 123 people.[5]
