Tull en 't Waal is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. Until 1962, it was a separate municipality, but now it is a part of the municipality of Houten. Originally, there were two villages: 't Waal, at the site of the present village; and Tull, more to the south. It also has a ferry connection to the town of Culemborg.{{cite web|url=https://www.oudhouten.nl/recente-tijd/infrastructuur/wegen/veerverbinding/ |title=Veerverbinding over de Lek |website=Oud Houten |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=nl}} It is located close to the Lek River.
