Winsum (Pronunciation|024 Winsum.ogg) is a municipality and a town in the northeastern Netherlands.

Estated in 1057, Winsum has (roughly) 8,000 inhabitants, mostly commuters to Groningen, and is formed out of three towns: Obergum (north), Winsum (centre) and Bellingeweer (south). Winsum and Obergum are separated by the Winsumerdiep canal.

The two mills, "De Ster" ("The Star") and "De Vriendschap" ("The Friendship") were built in 1851 and 1801. The building which the tavern "De Gouden Karper" ("The Golden Carp") now occupies has been in use as a tavern since the 16th century, and is the oldest in the Netherlands.
