Nederweert (Dutch: [ˈneːdərˌʋeːrt] ; Limburgish: Ni-jwieërt [ˈnɪjˌwiəʀt]) is a municipality and a town in southeastern Netherlands with a population of 17,171 as of 2021 and has an area of 101.78 km2 (39.30 sq mi) of which 1.80 km2 (0.69 sq mi) is water.

Nederweert lies at the intersection of three channels: the Zuid-Willemsvaart, the Noordervaart and the Wessem-Nederweert Canal. In the 19th century these channels provided transport routes to export peat that was harvested from the Peel. These channels connect Nederweert to Maastricht and 's-Hertogenbosch.
