Garrelsweer () is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Eemsdelta.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1057 as Gerleuiswert, and means "settled height of Gerlef (person)". Garrelsweer developed on a dike along the Delf river. In 1057, it was given market, minting and toll rights by Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. During the Middle Ages, the village became overshadowed by neighbouring Loppersum.
