Drenthe (Dutch: [ˈdrɛntə]) is a province of the Netherlands, located in the northeastern part of the country. It is bordered by Overijssel to the south, Friesland to the west, Groningen to the north, and the German state of Lower Saxony to the east. Drenthe has a total area of 2,680 km² (1,030 sq mi).

Drenthe has been populated for 15,000 years. The region has subsequently been part of the Episcopal principality of Utrecht, Habsburg Netherlands, Dutch Republic, Batavian Republic, Kingdom of Holland and Kingdom of the Netherlands. Drenthe has been an official province since 1796. The capital and seat of the provincial government is Assen.

Drenthe is a sparsely populated rural area, unlike many other parts of the Netherlands; except for the small cities of Assen and Emmen, the land in Drenthe is mainly used for agriculture, and it has a notable amount of forests and nature.

The province is drained by numerous shallow streams & canals and contains many megalithic funerary monuments or "hunebedden" ("huns' graves"). Mineralization is in the moors of the province.
