Weurt is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Beuningen, and lies about 0.1 km West of Nijmegen.

Weurt was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Beuningen.{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}

It was first mentioned in 1148 as Vurdene, and means "land near water".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/weurt |title=Weurt - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=20 March 2022 |language=nl |quote=Authenticity of 1076 document is in doubt}} Weurt developed along the Waal River.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0223.php |title=Weurt |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=20 March 2022}} In 1840, it was home to 451 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/weurt |title=Weurt |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=20 March 2022 |language=nl}}

A large brickworks resulted in a population increase. The 1837 church became too small, and was replaced by the St Andrews Church which was completed in 1898. After World War II, the village was extended southwards, and now borders the industrial area of Nijmegen.
