In Norse mythology, Gladsheim is a realm in Asgard where Odin's hall of Valhalla is located according to Grímnismál.
Snorri states in Gylfaginning that Gladsheim was a meeting hall, containing twelve high seats where the male Æsir held council. It was located on the Plain of Ida or Idavoll in Asgard, near the hall of Vingólf where the goddesses gathered.
