Oosterbierum (; ) is a village in Waadhoeke municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 561 in January 2014.
==History== The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Asterberen, and means "eastern houses/barns". The ooster (east) has been added to distinguish from Westerbeeren which disappeared in a flood in 1322. Oosterbierum developed on a clay ridge near the Wadden Sea.
