Bestumkilen is a bay in Lysakerfjorden in the inner Oslofjord area of Norway.

Located west of the Bygdøy peninsula and east of , it is bordered by the islet in the southwest and the mouth of the river at Sjølyst in the northeast. It was formerly known, together with Frognerkilen, under the name Ladegaardsfjordene.^[1] This stems from older times, when Bygdøy was an island, named Ladegaardsøen. Bygdøy later became a peninsula due to post-glacial rebound, separating Bestumkilen from Frognerkilen.^[2] Propositions to reconnect Bestumkilen and Frognerkilen through a canal were made in 1928 and 1937, but not carried out.^[3]

The rowing club and the canoeing club Oslo KK are based in Bestumkilen. There is also a harbor for leisure boats.
