Hagestein is a village and former city in the municipality of Vijfheerenlanden, Utrecht, Netherlands, on the Lek River, about 2 km east of Vianen. It received city rights in 1382. Hagestein was destroyed in 1405 by the Count of Holland and the Prince-Bishop of Utrecht.

Hagestein was a separate municipality between 1818 and 1986, when it merged with Vianen.[3] Until 2002, it was a part of the province of South Holland.[4]
