Ter Idzard (Western Frisian: Teridzert) is a village in Weststellingwerf in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 310 in 2017.[3]

The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Ydzerde, and means "settlement of Idzerd (person)".[4] The Roman Catholic church dates from 1903 and has a spire from 1926, however the village probably had a church around 1100.
