Tjerkgaast () is a village in De Fryske Marren municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 380 in 2017.
==History== The village was first mentioned in 1413 as Tzerckgeest, and means church on high sandy ridge. Tjerkgaast is a road village which centres around the church. The church was built in 1703 as a replacement of the medieval predecessor. The western wall is a remainder of the older church. Huize Spannenburg is a neoclassical building from 1845 and has been built as a replacement of the Douma State which had been built in 1793 in Langweer. In 1840, Tjerkgaast was home to 210 people.
