Berum is a village in the region of East Frisia, Lower Saxony, Germany. It is an Ortsteil of the municipality of Hage, part of the municipal association (Samtgemeinde) of Hage, although its metropolitan area practically borders that of the nearby town of Berumbur, to which it is located to the west.

The village is mostly known for its castle of the same name, one of the most important sites in East Frisian history. It is thought that the castle dates from c. 1310.

Berum is a former chieftain's seat, where Marten Sidtzen lived in 1387. As early as the Middle Ages, there was a so-called "Uthof" here, a kind of permanent outstation of a herd of the Norder Geest. The place was first recorded in documents as Berne or Berum in 1408. The current spelling has been officially used since 1436. The settlement name represents the dative plural of Old Frisian bēre, "shed".
