Denderhoutem is a village, located in the Denderstreek in the Flemish province of East Flanders, in Belgium. Since 1977, it has been part of the municipality of Haaltert.
The coat of arms shows a garb, most likely a symbol for agriculture. The old seals of the local council, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, showed a tree, with two small shields on either side, one with the lion of Flanders, the other with the arms of Burgundy. Why the council in the early 19th century applied for the garb instead is not known.
