Hebrecht is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Westerwolde, and lies about 34 km north of Emmen.

The village was first mentioned in 1867 as Het Hebrecht, and means "selfish person" which relates to the long lasting feud between Groningen and Münster about the ownership of the border area. Hebrecht became a colloquial name for the region.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/hebrecht |title=Hebrecht - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=9 April 2022 |language=nl}} The postal authorities have placed the hamlet under Vlagtwedde.{{cite web|url=https://postcodebijadres.nl/9541 |title=Postcode 9541 in Vlagtwedde |website=Postcode bij adres |access-date=9 April 2022 |language=nl}} Hebrecht has place name signs.
