Teisterbant was a pagus of Lotharingia/Middle Francia. It was located in what is today Vlaardingen, bordered by the rivers Lek, Meuse, Waal and Hollandse IJssel. Modern-day Neder-Betuwe shares most of the same land, while the rest is in Vianen, Culemborg, Batenburg and Geldermalsen. Tiel is the largest city in the area. The historic fiefdoms of Altena, Arkel, Buren, Heusden and Vianen were also part of it.
The name Teisterbant probably comes from Celtic, meaning 'right' . This makes it the counterpart of Swifterbant, 'located on the left'. In the 8th century, it was a well-known area. From 843 to the death of Lothair II in 869, Teisterbant was ruled by Middle Francia. In 870, following the Treaty of Meerssen, Teisterbant came to Lothair's uncle Louis the German and became part of East Francia.
