Nijland (West Frisian: Nijlân) is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[4] The village was first mentioned in 1230 as "de Nova Terra", and means "new land" which is a reference to the poldering of the southern part of the Middelzee which had silted probably before 1100.

[5] Nijland has a concentric structure with the farms placed around the church in a circle.

The church dates from the 16th century and has been constructed using material of its 13th-century predecessor.

[4] During the 19th century, Nijland started to develop along the Sneek-Bolsward road.
