Leeuwarden Achter de Hoven is a railway station serving eastern Leeuwarden, Netherlands. The station was first opened on 5 July 1915 but was closed between 19 May 1940 and 3 October 1954. It is located on the Harlingen–Nieuweschans railway between Leeuwarden and Groningen. The train services are operated by Arriva. As of 2015, most trains between Groningen and Leeuwarden do not stop at the station, and it is not shown on the standard NS map. There is one departure per day in the direction of Leeuwarden and two departures per day in the direction of Groningen.
There is only one side platform. The station is mostly used by the workers of the nearby FrieslandCampina factory.
In 2013, the provinces of Friesland and Groningen agreed to increase the number of passenger trains between Groningen and Leeuwaarden. The plan, which is to be completed in 2017, includes demolition of Leeuwarden Achter de Hoven railway station.
