Sterkenburg is a hamlet and former municipality in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It existed between 1818 and 1857, when it was merged with Driebergen.[1]

The Castle Sterkenburg [nl] is located here, about 3 km south of Driebergen. The literal translation of the name is "strong castle".

There is also a Dutch surname "Sterkenburg", which is derived from this location.
