Houwerzijl (; ) is a small village in the Netherlands; it is located in the municipality of Het Hogeland, Groningen.

Houwerzijl was located on the edge of land and water. Three terps (artificial hills) were built south of the current village, and were one of the oldest in Groningen. The hills contained fertile soil, and large parts have been excavated, and only fragments remain.
