Drouwenerveen is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn and lies about 20 km east of Assen.

The village was first mentioned in 1781 as "Gasselter en Drouwer Veenen", which means "the peat area belonging to Drouwen".[3] Drouwererveen originated as a peat excavation village around 1820, and developed into a linear settlement along the road from Drouwen.[4]

As of 1840, the village had a population of 305 residents.[5] The Dutch Reformed church, built around 1915, has since been converted into a residential house.[4]
