Kollumersweach (, locally also known as De Sweach) is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 2,992 in January 2017. Before 2019, the village was part of the Kollumerland en Nieuwkruisland municipality.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1444 as Zwaech, and means (cattle) pasture belonging to Kollum. Kollumersweach developed on a clay ridge from which the heath was cultivated during the 11th and 12th century. It developed into a linear settlement. Originally there were two hamlets: Zwagerveen and Zandbulten. In 1971, they were merged and renamed to Kollumerzwaag. In 2023, the spelling was changed to Kollumersweach.
