Deelen is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is largely in the municipality of Ede, Netherlands, but a small part lies in the municipality of Arnhem.[3]

It was first mentioned in the 13th century as Deijle, and means "parcel of ground".[4]

Deelen is best known for the Deelen Air Base, a military airfield close to the village. The airport was built in 1913 as a subsidiary of Soesterberg Air Base. During the German occupation, it was enlarged into a big airfield measuring 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi). There is a museum on the airbase dedicated to its history.[3]
