Lent is a neighbourhood of Nijmegen and former village in the Dutch province of Gelderland.

It is located in the municipality of Nijmegen, about 2 km north of that city, on the north bank of the Waal river.

[4] Lent was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Elst.

The population at the time of merger was about 3,000 people, however it almost quadrupled in 20 years due to neighbourhoods being built in Lent.
