Edewecht (Low German: Erwech) is a municipality in the Ammerland district, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The population figures include people, who have a second home in Edewecht besides to a dwelling elsewhere, and legally residing foreigners.

Coming from Friesoythe in the south, on April 17, 1945, Canadian troops had to conquer Edewecht in fierce house-by-house fighting against fanatic German paratroopers and other soldiers.

The famous German artist Joseph Beuys, who was a young man in these days, was one of the Wehrmacht paratroopers defending Edewecht, and got injured on April, 27 during battle.

Edewecht had been a border watch location between Eastern Frisia and the County of Oldenburg for many centuries.
