Acheux-en-Vimeu is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
The commune is a farming village 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of Abbeville, on the D80 departmental road. The commune comprises several small hamlets, one of which is Frireulle, where the church has a modest wall belltower.
The earlier spelling of the name Acheux was either Aceu or Acheu. It comes from the Celtic Achad that meant "cultivated field".
