Arkens (; ) is a hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland. It is located southwest of Schalsum and on the direct northeast side of Franeker, of which it is a part administratively.
The habitation consists of several farms on a road of the same name. Due to the expansions of Franeker, Arkens is located on the edge of the built-up area of Franeker, it is sometimes seen as part of that city itself. Near the hamlet is Arkens, an eponymous windmill which is currently located within the built-up area of Franeker – it was moved to there in 1972.
