Bonnen (Dutch: [ˈbɔ.nə(n)]) is a hamlet in the municipality of Aa en Hunze, in the province of Drenthe. It is located directly east of Gieten and north of the hamlet of Achter 't Hout.
The western part of the hamlet has grown together with the village of Gieten, under which the hamlet falls administratively. The hamlet is also largely within the village core of Gieten. The municipality of Aa en Hunze no longer keeps separate population figures for Bonnen.
The hamlet is situated on the edge of the Hondsrug. When leaving Bonnen in the direction of Gieterveen, the difference in level between the sand, the Hondsrug, and the former peat area is immediately noticeable. The lands south of the road originally belonged to Bonnen as common lands.
