Fransum (Gronings: Fraansum) is an old church hamlet in the municipality of Westerkwartier, Netherlands.

The village in the north-east of the country contains an early 13th century Romanesque church, a farm and a house.

[2] The hamlet was first mentioned in 1285 as Frenchem in Hunesgonia, and probably means "settlement of Frank (person)".

[2] From Den Ham a narrow road leads to the wierde, with the last part being unpaved.

From Fransum there used to be church paths to Aduard, Altenaauw, Beswerd and Den Ham.
