Wetering is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 9 km southwest of the town of Steenwijk.[3]

It was first mentioned in 1899 as Wetering, and means "discharge canal".[4] Wetering is a statistical entity,[1] has its own postal code,[5] and has two abandoned churches. Nevertheless it is hamlet probably due to its small population and spread out houses.[6]
