Steenwijkerwold is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 5 km northwest of Steenwijk. Steenwijkerwold was a separate municipality until 1973, when it became a part of Steenwijk.

== History == It was first mentioned in 1376 as Steenwickerwolde, and means forest near Steenwijk. It developed when Kerkbuurt, Gelderingen en Thij, three esdorp villages, merged. In 1401, a church was built, and the village became independent from the neighbouring city in 1543. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from the 15th century. In 1840, it was home to 1,369 people.
