Nieuw-Buinen is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about north of Emmen.
The village was first mentioned in 1840 as Nieuw-Buinen. It is a peat excavation village which was founded in 1823. Nieuw (new) has been added to distinguish between Buinen. The double canal was dug from Stadskanaal to excavate the peat in the area. In 1838, a glass factory opened in Nieuw-Buinen and was followed by another glass factory in 1840. In 1899, a potato starch factory was added.
