Gieterveen is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze, and lies about 19 km east of Assen.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1458 as "Gheter vene", and means "peat (colony) belonging to Gieten. Gieterveen developed after 1450 on a sandy ridge of the Hondsrug as a satellite of Gieten. It started as a peat excavation colony, and the rent of the houses used to be paid by peat. In 1840, it became an independent parish.
