Fochteloo () is a village with around 400 inhabitants in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf in southeastern Friesland in the Netherlands.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Fyochtelo, and probably means moist forest. The church was demolished in 1832, but the bell tower with two bells has remained. From 1908 until 2008, there was a chapel in the dairy factory. In 1840, Fochteloo was home to 163 people.
