Enspijk is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of West Betuwe, and lies about 14km (8.69 miles) west of Tiel.

Enspijk was first mentioned in 1148 as Inspic, and means promontory. The en (inwards) was added to distinguish from neighbouring Spijk.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/enspijk |title=Enspijk - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=25 March 2022 |language=nl|quote=Authenticity of the 1129 reference is in doubt}} Enspijk developed as a concentrated esdorp perpendicular to the dike of the Linge.
