Pervijze (French: Pervyse, West Flemish: Pervyzje) is a small rural village in the Belgian province of West-Flanders, and a part ("deelgemeente") of the municipality of Diksmuide. Pervijze has an area of 12.23 km² and almost 900 inhabitants
Before the municipal mergers in 1971, Pervijze was an independent municipality. In 1971, Lampernisse, Oostkerke and Stuivekenskerke were added to the municipality. In 1977 Pervijze became a part of Diksmuide.
Pervijze was destroyed during world war I. Pervijze was situated near the Yser Front. Therefore, in Brussels (more precisely in Etterbeek), there is a street called "Rue de Pervyse" and "Pervijzestraat".
