'''Skarsterlân''' ({{IPA|fy|ˈskarstəˌlɔ̃ːn|lang|Fy-Skarsterlân.oga}}; {{langx|nl|Scharsterland}} {{IPA|nl|ˈsxɑrstərˌlɑnt||462 Scharsterland.ogg}}) is a former [[Municipalities of the Netherlands|municipality]] in the [[Provinces of the Netherlands|province]] of [[Friesland]] in the [[Netherlands]]. The municipality was created 1 January 1984 by merging the municipalities of [[Doniawerstal]] and [[Haskerland]], the part of [[Utingeradeel]] consisting of the villages [[Akmarijp]] and Terkaple and the village [[Nieuwebrug (Friesland)|Nieuwebrug]] that used to belong to [[Heerenveen]]. City hall was located in [[Joure]]. On 1 January 2014 it merged with the municipalities of [[Lemsterland]] and [[Gaasterlân-Sleat]] to form the new municipality [[De Fryske Marren]].

At first, the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] name Scharsterland was chosen, but as of 1 March 1985, the [[West Frisian language|West Frisian]] name Skarsterlân was adopted and the Dutch name became obsolete.
