Fransum (Gronings: Fraansum) is an old church village in the municipality of Westerkwartier, Netherlands. The village in the northeast of the country contains an early 13th century Romanesque church, a farm and a house.

From Den Ham a narrow road leads to the wierde, with the last part being unpaved. A dodenweg, or 'death road' runs across the wierde from north to south. From Fransum there used to be church paths to Aduard, , and Den Ham. Many of these paths disappeared later, but some have been restored as bike paths.
