Kingmatille (; ) is a hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland. It is located east of the city of Franeker, and southwest of the villages of Zweins and Dronryp. Most of the residents of the hamlet are located on the road of the same name north of the .
The hamlet originated at a bridge () over the Harlinger Trekvaart on the territory of the since-disappeared stins of the Kingma family. In 1718 it was referred to as Kingma Tille. Due to the widening of this canal to the current Van Harinxma Canal, this bridge was replaced by a ferry in 1947. This ferry was taken out of service in 1963 due to excessive costs. In the summer of 2011, the Keimpetille bicycle and pedestrian ferry (with the name Jacob Petrus, running on solar energy) was put into use.
