Elburg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɛlbʏr(ə)x] ⓘ) is a municipality and a city in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands.

From Roman times there are names and shards of earthenware which suggest that there was an army camp at the site of Elburg.

Throughout the centuries, Elburgh remained a fishing and farming center until the end of World War II.

Unlike many other Dutch towns, Elburg had refused to use city funds to build a railroad station in 1863.

Because the land owners were asking unreasonably high prices for the right of way over their property, the track line Utrecht-Amersfoort-Zwolle bypassed Elburg.
