Weerdinge is a neighbourhood and former village of Emmen in the Dutch province of Drenthe.

== History == Weerdinge is an esdorp which developed in the 10th century, on the road from Emmen naar Exloo. It was first mentioned in 1327 as Weerdighen. The name means "the people of Wardo". In 1905, a railway line between Emmen and Stadskanaal was laid and a train station was built in Weerdinge. The line closed in 1963. In 1932, it was home to 977 people. The gristmill De Hondsrug was built in 1910 and was restored in 1988.
