Odoornerveen is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe.

It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 12 km northwest of Emmen.

In 1854, the Oranjekanaal [nl] was dug to excavate the peat in the area and the village developed along the canal.

[3] About 1,600 hectares (4,000 acres) of peat was excavated between 1856 and 1880, and the area was gradually cultivated for agriculture.

The former pub was converted into a village house in 1984.
