Oldeberkoop (; ) is a village consisting of about 1,580 inhabitants in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands.

== History == The village was first mentioned between 1232 and 1233 as apud Brokope. Olde (old) was added to distinguish between Nijeberkoop. The etymology of -berkoop is unclear. The village developed around the church and brink (communal pasture). The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century, and was enlarged in the 14th century. In 1585, the tower collapsed and was replaced in 1608.
