contents We discuss the closability of directional derivative operators with respect to a general Radon measure $μ$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$; our main theorem completely characterizes the vectorfields for which the corresponding operator is closable from the space of Lipschitz functions $\mathrm{Lip}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to $L^p(μ)$, for $1\leq p\leq\infty$. We also discuss the closability of the same operators from $L^q(μ)$ to $L^p(μ)$, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for closability, but we do not have an exact characterization. As a corollary we obtain that classical differential operators such as gradient, divergence and Jacobian determinant are closable from $L^q(μ)$ to $L^p(μ)$ only if $μ$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We finally consider the closability of a certain class of multilinear differential operators; these results are then rephrased in terms of metric currents.
