Hezingen (Tweants: Hezingn) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is a part of the municipality of Tubbergen, and lies about 15 km north of Oldenzaal.

It was first mentioned in 799 as Hasungum.[3] In 1840, it was home to 187 people.[4]

The hamlet is situated between Vasse and the border to Germany. Across the border it has a twin village called Hesingen [nl].[4]

Springendal was bought in the 1920s by textile industrialist Gerhard Jannink [nl] who decorated the forest around the estate with ponds, waterfalls and little meandering streams. The nature area is nowadays publicly accessible.[5] In 2022, a treasure of 70 golden coins and jewellery from the 7th and 8th century were discovered in Springendal.[6]
