Hegebeintum (Dutch: Hogebeintum) is a small village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 90 in January 2017.[1] Before 2019, the village was part of the Ferwerderadiel municipality.

Hegebeintum is also home to the highest artificial dwelling hill, or terp, in the Netherlands, measuring around 8.8 metres (29 ft) tall. The high ground of the terp was historically used as a place of refuge during unusually high tides and storm floods, and also had a number of dwellings. There is a well-known restored windmill located south of the village: the Hegebeintumer Mûne.
