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.
