Pietersbierum () is a village in Waadhoeke municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 140 in January 2014.
==History== The village was first mentioned in 1398 as Peters berim, and means "house/barn of Saint Peter". Pieterbierum is a terp (artificial living hill) village from the 8th century. It was originally separated from Sexbierum by a trench of the Wadden Sea. The medieval church burnt down in 1843. In 1845, a new church was built which received its Gothic Revival tower in 1878. Even though it has grown attached to Sexbierum and forms a twin village, it is still a separate village.
