Peest is a village in the Netherlands and it is part of the Noordenveld municipality in Drenthe. The Airport Norg used to be located near the village.

== History == Peest is an esdorp which developed around the heath. It was first mentioned around 1300 as "apud Peest". The etymology of the name is unclear. The farms which were constructed prior to 1850 are parallel to the communal pasture while the later farms are at right angles. In 1840, the village had 80 inhabitants.
