Schoonrewoerd is a village in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is a part of the municipality of Vijfheerenlanden, and lies about 25 km south of the city of Utrecht. Leerdammer cheese is produced in Schoonrewoerd.

It was a separate municipality in the province of South Holland until 1986, when it became part of Leerdam.[3]

The village was first mentioned in the 14th century as Scoenrewrth, and means "beautiful terp (artificial living hill)".[4] Schoonrewoerd developed around the church on a sandy ridge crossed by the Leerdam-Everdingen.[5] The village centre has been raised by about three metres.[6] The church tower dates from the 14th century. The church itself was damaged by war in 1672 and a storm in 1674, and contains few older elements.[5] In 1840, Schoonrewoerd was home to 239 people. The cheese factory is the biggest employer.[6]
