Hazerswoude (formerly usually called Hasersouw), a village in the Dutch province of South Holland, where strong Anabaptist activity of the revolutionary type was found in 1535, resulting in a revolt in the last day of that year, in which 60 persons, both men and women, participated.

About 1650 and apparently much earlier there were two Mennonite congregations at Hazerswoude, of which there is only sparse information.
