Franekeradeel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfraːnəkəraːˌdeːl]; West Frisian: Frentsjerteradiel [ˈfrɛntsjətəraˌdiəl]) is a former municipality in the northern Netherlands. It was created in 1984 by combining an earlier Franekeradeel municipality with the city of Franeker and parts of the former municipality of Barradeel. On 1 January 2018 it merged with the municipalities of het Bildt, Menameradiel and parts of Littenseradiel to form the new municipality Waadhoeke.
