Giethoorn (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣitɦoːr(ə)n]) is a village in the province of Overijssel, Netherlands, with a population of 2,795 in 2020.

It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 5 km (3.1 mi) southwest of Steenwijk.

In the old part of the village, there were no roads (though a cycling path was eventually added), and all transport was undertaken by water over one of the many canals.
