Hoevenen Airfield (Dutch: Vliegveld Hoevenen; ICAO: EBHN) is a small airfield between Antwerp and the Dutch border. It has a grass runway, precious little hangar space, and a bar/restaurant called Den Buynderdyck. It is home to a flying club Vliegclub Hoevenen and a parajumpers club. Located just outside Antwerp CTR, it is the aerodrome of choice for ULM flyers in this part of the country.

The runway orientation of 15/33 makes it a good place for training cross-wind landings, given the prevailing west winds.

The building of a new clubhouse-cum-hangars had been announced for 2009, this project has been started but made no progress for several years.
