Franekeradeel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈfraːnəkəraːˌdeːl] ^ⓘ; West Frisian: Frentsjerteradiel [ˈfrɛntsjətəraˌdiəl] ^ⓘ) is a former municipality in the northern Netherlands. It was created in 1984 by combining an earlier Franekeradeel municipality with the city of Franeker and parts of the former municipality of Barradeel.
