Rossum is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is a part of the municipality of Dinkelland, and lies about 4 km north of Oldenzaal on the road to Ootmarsum.

It was first mentioned in the late-10th century as Rohthem, and means "settlement near cleared forest".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/rossum |title=Rossum - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=15 March 2022 |language=nl}} In 1840, it was home to 504 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/rossum-overijssel |title=Rossum |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=15 March 2022 |language=nl}}

The Hunenborg is a circular rampart to the north of Rossum. In 1916, remnants of wooden buildings were discovered at the site. Later a wooden dam dating from the 1150s was uncovered, and may be the location of a 10th century fortress of the Prince-Bishop of Utrecht.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu03_01/sten009monu03_01_0088.php |title=Rossum |author=Ronald Stenvert & Jan ten Hove |year=1998 |page=247 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9200 1 |language=nl |access-date=15 March 2022}}

In the rural environment some farms can be found in the traditional building style of the timber framed Low German house.
