Lansingerland (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈlɑnsɪŋərˌlɑnt]) is a municipality in the westernNetherlands, in the province ofSouth Holland. It was formed on 1 January 2007, by the merger of the municipalities ofBerkel en Rodenrijs,Bleiswijk andBergschenhoek, collectively known as the "B-Triangle". The former municipality ofTempel, abolished in 1855, is also part of Lansingerland.
The name was chosen from a competition and derived from the name Lansingh, theheight-of-land between the Delfland and SchielandWater Boards, which runs between the "3B-Triangle" villages. The choice of name is symbolic: the name of the border that formerly divided the area, now unites it. The "h" in Lansingh was dropped to ease spelling.

On 18 September 2007 Ewald van Vliet was installed as the first mayor of Lansingerland.
