Benoordenhout is a quarter in the Haagse Hout district of The Hague. Besides Benoordenhout, Haagse Hout consists of the Bezuidenhout, Mariahoeve en Marlot, and Haagse Bos quarters.
Benoordenhout is situated northeast of the city centre, and is enclosed by the Koningskade quay, the Raamweg road, the Hubertuspark, the barracks and dunes north of the Waalsdorperweg road, the border with Wassenaar, the Hague Woods, and the Malieveld.
The quarter is named for the Hague Woods. In Dutch, 'Benoorden' means 'situated north of' and 'hout' is an archaic term for forest. In modern Dutch, 'hout' solely refers to the material wood.
Benoordenhout is in turn divided into six neighbourhoods: Nassaubuurt, Uilennest, Duinzigt, Waalsdorp, Arendsdorp, and the surroundings of the Van Hoytemanstraat road.
