'''Twenterand''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈtʋɛntərɑnt|lang|Nl-Twenterand.ogg}}; [[Tweants dialect|Twents]]: {{lang|twd|Tweanteraand}}) is a [[Municipalities of the Netherlands|municipality]] in the province of [[Overijssel]] in the eastern [[Netherlands]]. The name means "edge of [[Twente]]" as it is situated on the northwestern fringe of the historical region of Twente.

The municipality of Twenterand also had two [[city hall]]s, because of the merger between the former municipalities of [[Vriezenveen]] and [[Den Ham]] in 2001. The city hall in Vriezenveen remained. The extended municipality of Vriezenveen is called Twenterand since 2003.  The former municipal area of Vriezenveen belongs to the region of [[Twente]] and the former municipal area of Den Ham partly to the region of [[Salland]] and partly to the region of Twente.
