Teerns (West Frisian: Tearns) is a hamlet in Leeuwarden municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[3] The hamlet is often referred as Hempens-Teerns, because it forms a twin settlement with Hempens.

[5] Teerns was originally a terp (artificial living mound) village.

The church was demolished in 18th century probably around 1735, and the bell tower was removed in 1878.

In 1872, the terp was excavated, and the former centre has disappeared at the construction of the A31 motorway.
