The Achtste Klasse (1996–2001) was a Dutch association football league for men.
The foundation of the Achtste Klasse in 1996 was the result of a major KNVB reorganization at which the regional soccer organizations were dismantled and the Netherlands was divided into 9 soccer districts.
The Achtste Klasse became the lowest division of Dutch amateur football.
One of the teams in the Achtste Klasse was the college football club DSVV Ouwe Schoen from Delft, founded in 1889 as Delftsche FC.
SV Watervogels from Den Helder played in the competition from 1996 to 2000, when it won the section championship of 8A.
