Oosterbroek is a mansion and a former hamlet in the Dutch province of Drenthe. The mansion is located about 2 km east of Eelde, in the municipality of Tynaarlo.
The hamlet was located around the mansion. The mansion was a havezate which was a requirement to be admitted to the Knights of Drenthe.[3] Around 1850, it had 3 houses and about 25 inhabitants. It was still considered to be a separate settlement in 1997,[4] but the name no longer appears on the newest topographical maps.[5] As of 2021, it is a statistical entity with Groningen Airport Eelde,[2] however the postal authorities have put it under Eelde.[6]
