De Veenhoop is a small village in the Smallingerland municipality of Friesland, the Netherlands, situated at the intersection of the Polderhoofdkanaal and the Grietmansrak.

Its name reflects its origins as a peat excavation settlement, first recorded in the early 1850s and developed through the late 19th century. The village sits directly on the Grietmansrak, with Nationaal Park de Alde Feanen lying on the opposite bank.

From April through October, a small ferry carries cyclists and pedestrians across to the park. To the south lies the nature area De Kraanlannen, itself shaped by historical peat extraction.

The nearby Petgatten de Feanhoop, a 200-hectare expanse of lakes and swamp forest on the edge of de Alde Feanen, has been a protected area since 1996 and supports a wide variety of birdlife.
