Boekhorst is a hamlet in the municipality of Ooststellingwerf, in the Dutch province of Friesland. The hamlet is located south of Oosterwolde and east of Langedijke.
It falls mostly under Oosterwolde and small part under Langedijke. In 1622 the hamlet was mentioned as Bueckhorst, in 1640 as Bookhorst and in 1664 as Boeckhorst. Boekhorst is said to be a composition of the Stellingwerf word for a beech (boek), and an overgrown height (horst).
