Grootebroek is a town in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is located in the municipality of Stede Broec.
Grootebroek was a separate municipality until 1979.
The town is called Grootebroek after a large swamp in the area; in Dutch, "groote" means "large" and "broek" means "swamp". The most common meaning of "broek" in present-day Dutch is "pants", leading to some hilarity about the town's name. Grootebroek is located next to Lutjebroek, "small swamp".
