IJsseloog (Dutch IJsselauge ) is an artificial island in the Dutch inland Ketelmeer that was created as a landfill for sludge from the Ketelmeer. The actual landfill appears as a circular lake with half a mile in diameter in the middle of about two kilometers long, egg-shaped island, which is about half as wide as the Ketelmeer at this point itself. Their name is derived from the IJssel which flows through the Ketelmeer.

The bottom of the Ketelmeeres is heavily contaminated, the Rhine encamped here on his estuary IJssel years from pollutants. To add this slurry, the landfill was built between 1996 and 1999. It has a diameter of one kilometer, a depth of 45 m and a capacity of 20 million cubic meters.
