De Heurne is a village in the municipality of Aalten, near Dinxperlo (Achterhoek region) in the eastern Netherlands.
The village contains a Protestant church and a school. At the beginning of the 20th century, De Heurne had its own train station, on the Varsseveld - Dinxperlo railway line. Although the station has closed, the building is still there.
According to CBS, the village had a population of 1,009 inhabitants as at 1 January 2008.
Revenues in the village are mainly from the agricultural sector. In recent years it has shifted towards tourism. Around 1950, the village contained more than ten small grocery shops, however these have all now closed.
