Acheux-en-Amiénois is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

The commune is a farming village found at the junction of the departmental roads D938 and D114.

The earlier spelling of the name Acheux was either Aceu or Acheu (from the charter of the foundation of the nearby abbey of Corbie). It comes from the Celtic Achad that meant "cultivated field". The town of Acheux is ancient. It certainly existed in Roman times, where a fort was established, comprising ditches and pallisades, to protect it from attacks by the Atrebates, a Gaulish tribe, after whom Arras is named.
