Berg en Dal (English: Mountain and valley) is a municipality in the eastern Netherlands, in the province of Gelderland. Berg en Dal has existed since 2016 and is named after the village of Berg en Dal. Previously it was known as Groesbeek, a municipality that merged with Millingen aan de Rijn and Ubbergen in 2015.
