's-Graveland (Dutch pronunciation: [sxraːvəˈlɑnt])^[3] is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Wijdemeren, and lies about 4 km northwest of Hilversum. The former municipality of 's-Graveland merged with Loosdrecht and Nederhorst den Berg on 1 January 2002 to form the new municipality Wijdemeren.

The village was first mentioned in 1634 as "de akkers in 's Graevenlandt" and means "the land of Count of Holland" (Albrecht van Beieren) and served as a hunting ground. This area was cultivated from 1625; nine years later the resulting polder was parceled out to six people.^[4][5] A popular location for the country estates of Amsterdam burghers, the village contains several historic houses dating mostly to the 17th century.
