Borgercompagnie ({{IPA|nl|ˌbɔrɣərkɔmpɑˈɲi}}; {{langx|gos|Börkomnij}} {{IPA|gos|ˈbœːkɔmˌnɛːi̯|}}) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It consists of a single street with farms and houses on both sides. The village is about 7 km long. The north end lies close to Sappemeer in the municipality of Midden-Groningen, and the south end lies in the municipality of Veendam.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/borgercompagnie |title=Borgercompagnie |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=28 February 2022 |language=nl}}

The village was founded in 1647 by the Burger Compagnie (Citizen's Company) to exploit the peat. Borgercompagnie is a linear settlement along the canal. The northern section of the canal was filled up after 1940.{{cite book|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu04_01/sten009monu04_01_0016.php |title=Borgercompagnie |author=Redmer Alma |year=1998 |page=78 |publisher=Waanders Uitgevers |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9258 3}}

In 2005, a manure fermentation factory opened in Borgercompagnie. It was originally hailed as a progressive company and received a stimulation prize. It processes 35,000 tons of manure a year, and is in ongoing dispute with their neighbours and the municipality of Veendam due to the stench.
