Veessen is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Heerde.
Veessen was a separate municipality between 1812 and 1818, when it was merged with Heerde.[3]
It was first mentioned in 1217 as Vesce. The etymology is unclear.[4] Veessen is an esdorp near the IJssel River. Later, it developed into a linear settlement on the dike.

A stream engine driven mill was built next to windmill in 1888.[6] In 1840, Veessen was home to 775 people.[7]
