Enkhuizen (Dutch pronunciation: [ɛŋkˈɦœyzə(n)] ⓘ) is a municipality and a city in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland and the region of West-Frisia.

Enkhuizen, like Hoorn and Amsterdam, was one of the harbour-towns of the VOC, from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted.

However, due to a variety of reasons, notably the silting up of the harbours, Enkhuizen lost its position to Amsterdam.

[4] Industrially, Enkhuizen is home to a number of seed production companies, Enza Zaden, Syngenta, Bayer Crop Science, as well as a plastics factory.

During the summer, ferries for pedestrians and cyclists operate between Enkhuizen and Stavoren, Medemblik and Urk.
