Achttienhoven is a former hamlet in the municipality of De Bilt, in the Netherlands. It is now considered to be part of the village of Westbroek.

Achttienhoven used to be a heerlijkheid (manor), until it became part of Westbroek in 1812. From 1818 to 1954, Achttienhoven was a separate municipality again. It then merged with Westbroek, which in its turn was annexed by Maartensdijk in 1957.{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}

According to the 19th-century historian A.J. van der Aa,{{vanderAa-AW|A|49||RA1-PA49}} the village used to be called "Everckesdorp".

It was first mentioned between 1280 and 1287 as achtienhoeven, and means eighteen parcels of land.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/achttienhoven |title=Achttienhoven - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=nl}} Achttienhoven is not a statistical entity,{{cite web |url=https://www.cbs.nl/-/media/_excel/2021/48/kwb-2021.xls |title=Kerncijfers wijken en buurten 2021 |website=Central Bureau of Statistics |access-date=28 March 2022|quote=not found}} and the postal authorities have placed it under Westbroek.{{cite web|url=https://postcodebijadres.nl/3615 |title=Postcode 3615 in Westbroek |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=28 March 2022 |language=nl}} It has place name signs.
