Jonkerslân ({{langx|nl|Jonkersland}}) is a village consisting of around 295 inhabitants in the municipality of Opsterland in the east of Friesland, the Netherlands.
The village was first mentioned in 1899 as Jonkersland, and means land of the Jonkheer which is probably a reference to Juw Dekama. Jonkerslân developed into a peat colony in the 18th century.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/jonkersland |title=Jonkersland - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=2 April 2022 |language=nl}} In 1988, it was awarded a village status.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/jonkersl%C3%A2n |title=Jonkerslân |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=2 April 2022 |language=nl}}
