Jonkersvaart (Dutch: [ˈjɔŋkərsˌfaːrt]; Gronings: Jonkersvoart) is a linear village in the municipality of Westerkwartier in the province of Groningen in the Netherlands.

[1] Already in 1765, there was mention of the Jonkersgruppel, a waterway for the drainage of water during peat extraction.

[3] Around 1780, peat extraction received a new impulse under squire Ferdinand Folef von Innhausen und Kniphausen (1735-1795) and his wife Anna Maria Graafland, who had a navigable canal built.

The Gravelandwijk is named after Anna Maria Graafland, a neighborhood that is connected to the Jonkersvaart via the Zandwijk.
