Twijzelerheide (West Frisian: Twizelerheide) is a village in Achtkarspelen in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 1800 in 2017.

A dialect of Wood Frisian, Westereendersk dialect, is spoken in this village.

The village was first mentioned in 1718 as heyde, and means "heath near Twijzel". Twijzelerheide developed in the 19th century as a heath cultivation project.
