Stellingwerfs or locally referred to as Stellingwarfs is the form of the Dutch Low Saxon spoken in Ooststellingwerf and Weststellingwerf in the Dutch province of Friesland.

By some observers included within Stellingwerfs is Veenkoloniaals, which is spoken in the village of Noordwolde in the Dutch province of Friesland.

Stellingwerfs is easily legible for many Netherlanders. There is a modern literature in Stellingwerfs.

Like Het Bildt and Leeuwarden, Weststellingwerf and Ooststellingwerf are among the municipalities of Friesland, where West Frisian is not spoken.
