Ferwert () is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1787 in January 2017. Before 2019, the village was part of the Ferwerderadiel municipality.
== History == The village was first mentioned between 819 and 825 as "in Fatruwerde". The etymology is unclear. Ferwert is a terp village with a radial structure which developed several centuries Before Christ. In the 11th or 12th century a dike was built leading to Marrum and Blije. The area to the south of the terp was property of the church and became a square known as Vrijhof (free court). Ferwert developed into the capital of the grietenij (predecessor of the municipality) Ferwerderadiel.
