Vledderveen (also: Vledderbatten) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Stadskanaal, about 3 km east of the centre of that town.[3]

Vledderveen was established on 21 June 1880 to cultivate the heath. It used by inhabited by shepherd Minne Kone, his dog and 2,000 sheep.[4] It was originally called Vledderbatten.[5] In 1903, a school opened in Vledderveen. It was closed in the late 20th century due to lack of students.[4]

In 1961, Stadskanaal Airfield was built in Vledderveen.[6] In 1969, a motocross club was established. The former landfill near the village was used as a track, however the neighbours complained about the noise. It was decided to build a motocross circuit next to the airfield.[5]
