Гизельдо́н (осет. Джызӕлдон) — река в Северной Осетии, приток Ардона. Впадает в Ардон в 0,2 км от впадения Ардона в Терек, поэтому часто упоминается как левый приток Терека. Длина реки — 80 км. Площадь водосбора — 604 км². Имеет ледниково-снеговое питание, половодье на реке наблюдается весной и в начале лета. У села Кобан на реке сооружена Гизельдонская ГЭС, гидроагрегаты которой работают при расчётном напоре 289 м, что является одним из самых больших в России расчётных перепадов между бьефами гидроузлов.
