Hedwigenkoog is a municipality belonging to the Amt Kirchspielslandgemeinde ("collective municipality") Büsum in the district Dithmarschen in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Hedwigenkoog is situated on the North Sea coast north of Büsum and Westerdeichstrich. It consists of marshland won from the sea (called a Koog in German) and protected with a dike in 1696 to secure the land connection between Büsum and Wesselburen. The first part of its name was adopted in honor of Hedwig Sophie, wife of Duke Friedrich IV of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf.
The coat of arms is a modified version of the duke's seal and shows a swan holding an eel. The animals in the original version were a stork and a snake.
Hedwigenkoog's economy is based on farming and wind energy in combination with tourism.
