Hoogland (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦoːxlɑnt]) is a village and former free-standing municipality in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands. The village population is 10,587 people (2006).
Since 1974, Hoogland has been a part of the municipality of Amersfoort. Until that time, around the 1950s, Hoogland grew vastly in the areas Langenoord and Bieshaar. Nowadays, Hoogland-west is the only outer part of Hoogland which is uncultivated. Although Hoogland got more surrounded by the new housing of Amersfoort (Kattenbroek, Nieuwland and Schothorst), the village characteristics stayed intact.
Hoogland is located north of the Amersfoort city centre.
