Denekamp ({{IPA|nl|ˈdeːnəkɑmp|-|nl-Denekamp.ogg}}) is a town in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is a part of the region of Twente and the municipality of Dinkelland, and lies about 9 km northeast of Oldenzaal.

The town was first noted as early as the 10th century when it was referred to as Daginghem, and means "settlement of the people of Dago or Dano".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/denekamp |title=Denekamp - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=15 March 2022 |language=nl}} The village started around the church which was built in 1275. It remained isolated and small until 1829 when the road from Deventer to Hamburg was built.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu03_01/sten009monu03_01_0030.php |title=Denekamp |author=Ronald Stenvert & Jan ten Hove |year=1998 |page=93 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9200 1 |language=nl |access-date=15 March 2022}}

The location became a municipality in 1818 incorporating the settlements of Noord Deurningen, Lattrop, Breklenkamp, Tilligte, Nutter and Agelo. The municipality merged with Ootmarsum and Weerselo in 2001; the new municipality was first called "Denekamp", but was renamed in 2002 to Dinkelland.{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}
