The Dänikhorster Moor is a former nature reserve in the Lower Saxony municipalities of Bad Zwischenahn and Edewecht in the district of Ammerland .

The nature reserve with the registration number NSG WE 181 was 91  hectares in size. It was completely part of the FFH area "Fintlandsmoor and Dänikhorster Moor". The area has been under nature protection since October 24, 1987. In June 2017 the newly designated nature reserve " Fintlandsmoor and Dänikhorster Moor " opened up. The responsible lower nature conservation authority was the district of Ammerland.

The area is located southwest of Bad Zwischenahn and northwest of Edewecht. It consists of two remains of raised bog that have remained uncultivated . The high moor is on the edge of the Ammerländer Geest within the Hunte-Leda moorland. The northern part drains through ditches to Ollenbäke , which flows into the Große Süderbäke at Apen . This becomes Aper Tief in Apen . The southern part drains via ditches to the floodplain, which flows together with the Soeste at Barßel (now known as Nordloher Tief) and forms the Barßeler Tief. The Dänikhorster Moorkanal crossing the area was partially backfilled in 2010 and provided with dams in order to reduce the drainage of the area.
