Lauwersland is an area in the northwest of the Dutch province Groningen. The area borders on the mudflats to the north and Friesland to the west.
Lauwersland is an area where various organizations work closely together in the fields of recreation, art and culture and entrepreneurship. The name Lauwersland covers several municipalities in Groningen and Friesland that border on the former Lauwerszee (plotted in on May 23, 1969). The name Lauwersland that is now used has no cultural-historical value and is used by the aforementioned organizations to indicate the area to be exploited. .
