Schraard () is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 165 in January 2017.

==History== The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Scadawerth, and means "cut-off parcel" and "terp". Schraard is a terp (artificial living hill) village on the former Marnesleek. It was a near perfect radial structure, however the buildings are somewhat random, and the church is not in the middle, but on the southern edge.
