Zwartewaterland ({{IPA|nl|ˌzʋɑrtəˈʋaːtərlɑnt|-|Nl-Zwartewaterland.oga}}) is a municipality in the province Overijssel in the eastern Netherlands.
Geography
This mainly rural municipality lies south of Steenwijkerland on the Zwarte Water (Black Water). This is a short tributary of the river IJssel from Zwolle to the Zwarte Meer (Black Lake). Before 1931 this lake was a part of the Zuiderzee. The Vecht also flows into the Zwarte Water.
Hasselt lies about {{convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Zwolle.
Genemuiden and Zwartsluis lie 5 km further north, almost opposite one another, near the Zwarte Water. Aquatic sport tourism is important to the local economy.
