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

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