Alteveer (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑltəveːr]) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is largely located in the municipality Stadskanaal, about 7 km northeast of the centre of Stadskanaal. The houses on the western edge of the village are part of the municipality of Pekela.

Alteveer was founded along the Alteveer canal, which runs north from Stadskanaal. Older topographical maps show that a part of the current village of Alteveer was formerly part of the neighbouring village of Tange; a name now used for the houses closer to the village of Onstwedde.
