Formerum ({{langx|fy|Formearum}}) is a village on Terschelling in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 211 in January 2017.[https://www.terschelling.nl/t-actueel/het-eiland-terschelling_43187/item/bevolkingscijfers_30130.html Bevolkingscijfers]{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} - Terschelling {{in lang|nl}}

The Russian ship Oka 18 sank in 1966 near this village. Until recently her funnel could be seen rising out from the sea. The village boasts a smock mill, the Koffiemolen.

It was the birthplace of the 16th century Dutch Arctic explorer Willem Barentsz.
