Zevender is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located in the municipality of Lopik, 2 km northeast of Schoonhoven. A part of Zevender has become a neighbourhood of Schoonhoven.[2]

Zevender was a separate municipality from 1817 to 1857, when it was merged with Willige Langerak.[3]

It was first mentioned in 1247 as Zeuendre. The etymology is unclear.[4] The postal authorities have placed it under Lopik.[5] There are no place name signs. A castle formerly stood in Zevender, enduring sieges in 1300 and 1304 before its destruction by fire in 1518. In 1540, Charles V ordered the removal of the ruins. In 1840, Zevender was home to 129 people.[2]
