Goor [ɣʊːr] is a town about 25 km west of Enschede in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It received town rights in 1263. The population is about 13,000.
Goor was a separate municipality until 2001, when it became a part of Hof van Twente.
The Goor is a woodland, seven hectares in area, on the German Baltic Sea island of Rügen near Lauterbach, a village in the borough of Putbus, which runs for about 1.5 km directly along the shore of the Bay of Greifswald. The woods of the Goor consist predominantly of beech and English oak. They are designated as a nature reserve and are popular with walkers.
