Bordesholm is a town in Schleswig-Holstein, belonging to the district Rendsburg-Eckernförde. As of 2004 it has a population of 7561 and covers an area of 10.20 km².

The town was formed around 1330, when the abbey of Neumünster (founded in 1127 by Bishop Vizelin) was moved to an island in the Eidersted lake. The town developed at the shore of the lake. Because of the abbey Bordesholm became the cultural and economical centre of the region between Kiel and Neumünster.

During the reformation the abbey was closed in 1566 by duke Hans the Elder. The remains of the abbey library are now the foundation of the library of the University of Kiel. 1773-1865 the area of Bordesholm was admininistrated by Denmark.
