Kollum (Low Saxon: Kölm) is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân municipality in the province Friesland, the Netherlands.

The village was first mentioned between 822 and c. 825 as Colleheim, and means settlement of Kolle (person).

During the 11th and 12th century, the peat was excavated in the region, and a settlement appeared on the Dwarsried, a former river leading to the Wadden Sea.

[6] The village made national headlines after the murder of Marianne Vaatstra and subsequent riots which took place in the area in 1999.

The case was only solved 13 years after the murder when the perpetrator was arrested after a DNA match.
