Maasdriel ({{IPA|nl|maːzˈdril|-|094 Maasdriel.ogg}}) is a municipality in the province of Gelderland, in the eastern Netherlands.

Maasdriel was formed on 1 January, 1999 by the merger of the former municipalities of Ammerzoden (including Well, Wellseind en Wordragen), Hedel, Heerewaarden, Maasdriel (Alem, Hoenzadriel, Kerkdriel and Velddriel) and Rossum (including Hurwenen). The former municipality of Maasdriel was called "Driel" before 1944.Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. {{cite web|url=http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr%3D20061061 |title=KNAW > Publicaties > Detailpagina |access-date=2009-12-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220041404/http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061 |archive-date=2007-02-20 }}
