Azewijn is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland and the municipality Montferland, and is about 3 km east of the town of 's-Heerenberg.

The larger part of Azewijn is known as "Groot-Azewijn" (Greater Azewijn), with the hamlet "Klein-Azewijn" (Lesser Azewijn) about 1 km to the north.[1]

Azewijn was first mentioned in 1025 as 'Asawon'; but the etymology is unclear.[2] The village belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia before it became part of the Netherlands in 1816.[3] Population in 1840 was 525.[1] St Matthews Church at Azewijn was built in 1891. It was burnt down by Germans on 31 March 1945, and was rebuilt in 1950–1951.[1]
