Zeven is a town in the district of Rotenburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It has a population of around 14,000. The nearest large towns are Bremerhaven, Bremen and Hamburg. It is situated approximately 22 km northwest of Rotenburg, and 40 km northeast of Bremen.

Zeven was the site of the signing of the Convention of Kloster-Zeven - the peace treaty signed by the Duke of Cumberland following defeat by the French in 1757, early in the Seven Years' War.

Zeven is also the seat of the "Samtgemeinde" ("collective municipality") Zeven.

Zeven was the site of a DECCA transmitter. Close to its masts, there is also an FM-broadcasting station, using a 100 metre tall guyed mast.
