Swartbroek (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsʋɑrdbruk]; Limburgish: Zwertbrook [ˈzwe̞ʀdbʀoːk]) is a village in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Weert in the province of Limburg.

The village was first mentioned in the 16th century as Swartbroeck, and means "black swampy land".[3]

Swartbroek was home to 276 people in 1840. In 1925, the St Cornelius Church was built. The grist mill De Hoop was built in 1905 using material from a 1788 wind mill. Between 2011 and 2015, it was restored and still in active service.[4]
