Wezup is a village in the Netherlands that is a part of the Coevorden municipality in Drenthe.[3] North of Wezup is Wezuperbrug and to the east is Zweeloo.
Wezup is an esdorp which was first mentioned in 1284 as Wesepe, and means "brook through the meadow".[4][5] In 1488, it became a boermarke, a communal and private land which was autonomous.[6] In 1840, it was home to 168 people.[5]
