Uffelte is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Westerveld, and lies about 15 km west of Hoogeveen.
Uffelte was first mentioned as Ulfo in 1040 when Emperor Henry III donated estates from a certain Uffo and his brothers, located in Uffelte, Wittelte and Peelo, to Bishop Bernold of Utrecht.Wittelte Archived 2020-03-18 at the Wayback Machine Uffelte is an esdorp on a sandy ridge.

The villages of Uffelte and Darp decided to build a joint church halfway between the two villages. The church was built in 1310, and the village of Havelte developed around the church.[4] Uffelte received its own church in 1910, when the Dutch Reformed church was built.[3]
Uffelte was home to 651 people in 1840.[4]
