Verden (German pronunciation: [ˈfeːɐ̯dn̩]) is a Kreis (district) in the centre of Lower Saxony, Germany.

Adjoining it are (from the northwest clockwise) the districts of Osterholz, Rotenburg, Heidekreis, Nienburg, and Diepholz, as well as the city of Bremen.

The western half of the district is occupied by suburbs in the Bremen metropolitan area, e.g. the town of Achim.

After the Kingdom of Hanover became part of Prussia, they were recreated as districts (Kreise), and merged in 1932.

The wavy line in the middle stands for the rivers Weser and Aller, while the three ears in the bottom symbolize the agricultural character of the district.
