Zoelmond is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Buren, and lies about 10 km northwest of Tiel.

It was first mentioned in 1214 as Zolemunde, and means "mouth of the river Zoel".[3] The village developed into a stretched out esdorp along the former river. A chapel was built in 1404 which was expanded into a church around 1447. The tower dates from 1911.[4] In 1840, it was home to 536 people.[5] A grist mill was built in 1714, but it burned down in 1917 and the remainder was demolished in 1987.[6]
