Nijswiller () is a village in the southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg. It is a part of the municipality of Gulpen-Wittem, and is located about east of Maastricht.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1179 as "de Wilra sancti Dionisii". The current name means "farm of Nijs". Nijs is short for Saint Denis of Paris, the patron saint of the village. Nijswiller developed in the Middle Ages along the old road from Maastricht to Aachen at the crossing with the Selzerbeek.
