Ankeveen is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Wijdemeren, and lies about 5 km west of Bussum.

The village was first mentioned in 1344 as Tankenveen, and means "peat excavation of Tanke (person)".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/ankeveen |title=Ankeveen - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=2 May 2022 |language=nl}} Ankeveen is a stretched out peat concession village.{{cite news|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu11_01/sten009monu11_01_0024.php |title=Ankeveen |author=Ronald Stenvert & Saskia van Ginkel-Meester |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |year=2006 |language=nl |access-date=2 May 2022}}

The buitenplaats Berg en Vaart was built near Ankeveen between 1779 and 1782 by an Amsterdam wine merchant. It is surrounded by a large park designed in the 18th century.

West of the village, there is a fen area, the {{ill|Ankeveense Plassen|nl}} which is a result of the peat excavation in the area.

Until 1966, Ankeveen was a separate municipality. In 2002, it became part of the municipality of Wijdemeren.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/ankeveen |title=Ankeveen |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=2 May 2022 |language=nl}}
