Slijk-Ewijk is a village in the municipality of Overbetuwe in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands.
It was first mentioned in 1573 as SlijckEwick. The etymology is unknown.[3] The village developed into a linear settlement on artificial mounds. The tower of the Dutch Reformed Church probably dates from the 14th century. The church is mainly a 1912 construction. Huis Loenen is an estate which was constructed around 1825 on the location of a medieval castle.[4] In 1840, it was home to 371 people.[5]
