Hemmingstedt () is a German municipality in the district of Dithmarschen in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.

==History== Hemmingstedt is the namesake of the Battle of Hemmingstedt, which took place south of the place in today's municipal area of Epenwöhrden. In 1500 the militia of the then Farmers' Republic of Dithmarschen, led by Wulf Isebrand, defeated a grand army of John, king of the Kalmar Union, composed of Jutes, Holsteiners, and Dutch mercenaries.
