The Bezuidenhout is a district of The Hague, in the stadsdeel Haagse Hout (English: "Woods of The Hague"). It names describes its location, meaning "south of the Haagse Bos".

In the Second World War German V-2 rockets were stationed in the park just north to this district, called "Haagse Bos". On 3 March 1945 the allies attempted to destroy V-2s and launching equipment by a large-scale bombardment, but due to navigational errors the Bezuidenhout was destroyed; 500 people were killed, 2000 were injured, and several thousands were made homeless, just two months before the liberation.

In the southwest of the Bezuidenhout lies the modern Beatrixkwartier

Major streets in the district include:
*Juliana van Stolberglaan
*Bezuidenhoutseweg
*Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië
*Prins Clauslaan
*Theresiastraat
