Heikant is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland.

It is a part of the municipality of Hulst, and lies about 33 km southwest of Bergen op Zoom.

There are many settlements called Heikant ("heath edge") in the Netherlands; the one near Hulst is the largest and the only one with village status.

[3] The village was first mentioned in 1867 as Heikant, and means "edge of the heath".

The Catholic Holy Theresia of the Child Jesus church was built in 1930 by the unemployed as a condition of the municipality for a subsidy.
