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, 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. According to the 19th century historian A.J. van der Aa, the village used to be called "Everckesdorp". The name "Achttienhoven" means "Eighteen Farms".
