Baasrode is a village and a district in the municipality of Dendermonde, in East Flanders, Belgium.

Since the Middle Ages, the village economy has been based on riverine traffic on the Scheldt. A boat building industry remained active until 1986, and the village contains a museum dedicated to its maritime history. The village church, dedicated to Saint Ursmar, is medieval but has been successively rebuilt during the 18th and 19th centuries.[1]
