Rijsoord is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland.

It is located about 10 km southeast of the city of Rotterdam, in the municipality of Ridderkerk.

[2] The current village is largely located north of the Waaltje (little Waal) river, outside the area of the former municipality.

The village had its day in history on 15 May 1940, when the Dutch Commander-in-Chief General Henri Winkelman had to sign the surrender to the German invaders, after four days of fighting in World War II.

The formality took place in a school building in Rijsoord, now a museum.
