Nietap is a village in the Netherlands and is part of the Noordenveld municipality in Drenthe.

The borg (castle) Tedema was built near the current village.

It was probably built by Johan Thedema, burgemeester of the city of Groningen around 1450 to excerpt control over the border area.

[6] The location near the border of Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland attracted retail to Nietap.

Nietap grew in to a single urban area with Leek.
