Buiksloot is a former village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is now a neighbourhood of Amsterdam-Noord. Buiksloot was a separate municipality from 1811 until 1921, when it was merged with Amsterdam.[1]

From 1888 to 1956, Buiksloot had a tram connection with Amsterdam-Noord and Waterland. The Waterland tram had a stop in Buiksloot, near today's Nieuwe Leeuwarderweg. Since 2018, Buiksloot has been cut in half by the Noord/Zuidlijn metro.
