Gardelegen (IPA2|ˈgaʁdəleːgən) is a town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It is situated on the right bank of the Milde, 20 m. W. from Stendal, on the main line of railway Berlin-Hanover. Gardelegen currently has 11,740 inhabitants, living on 68.00 km² (173 inhabitants per km²). It is part of the "Verwaltungsgemeinschaft" Gardelegen Stadt.

It has a Roman Catholic and three Evangelical churches, a hospital, founded in 1285, and a high-grade school. There are considerable manufactures, notably agricultural machinery and buttons, and its beer has a great repute. Gardelegen was founded in the 10th century (first named 1196), and was for a long time the seat of a line of counts. In 1358 Gardelegen became a city of the Hanse. It suffered considerably in the Thirty Years' War, and in 1775 was burned by the French. On the neighboring heath Margrave Louis I. of Brandenburg gained, in 1343, a victory over Otto the Mild of Brunswick.

On 13 April 1945, 1016 concentration camp prisoners were killed by the Nazis in the "Isenschnibbler Feldscheune". Today this area is the site of a memorial for the dead.
