Hegebeintum (Dutch: Hogebeintum) is a small village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[4] Hegebeintum is home to the highest artificial dwelling hill, or terp, in the Netherlands, measuring around 8.8 metres (29 ft) tall.

There is a well-known restored windmill located south of the village: the Hegebeintumer Mûne.

The village was first mentioned between 819 and c. 825 as Bintheim, and means "high settlement with moor grass (Molinia).

In 1969, it was decommissioned, because nobody was willing to move to Hegebeintum to operate wind mill, and a pumping station was installed.
