Oterleek is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland.

It is a part of the municipality of Alkmaar, and lies about 4 km south of Heerhugowaard.

The village was first mentioned in 1256 as Oterleke, and is a combination of "outwards" and "natural stream".

[4] Before the Schermer and the Heerhugowaard were polder, the village was located on an island between the two lakes.

In 1573, the village was burnt by Diederik Sonoy for conspiring with the Spanish.
