Eanjum () is a village in the Dutch province of Friesland. It is located in the municipality Noardeast-Fryslân and had, as of January 2017, a population of 1136.

==History== The village was first mentioned in 944 as Anigheim, and means "settlement of the people of Ane". Eanjum was a terp (artificial living mound) with a radial structure which probably dated several centuries Before Christ. Until the 15th century, it was the seat of the grietenij (predecessor of a municipality).
