Zalk is a village on the South bank of the river IJssel in the municipality of Kampen in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is situated just behind the winter Dike of the IJssel at Wilsum.

This municipality was incorporated in the municipality of IJsselmuiden in 1937 and belongs to the municipality of Kampen since 2001.
Zalk is nationally known as the residence of Klazien uit Zalk.
