Høsterkøb is a village in Rudersdal Municipality, some north of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is bounded on the south by Rude Forest and on the north by open fields.
==Etymology== The name is derived from Husfrecop. The first part of the name means hustru ("wife") while the suffix -køb, which is only seen in toponyms from the north of Zealand and Scania, means "purchased land" ("købt jord"). Høsterkøb thus means "land purchased by (a) wife".
