Heddernheim is a city district of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is part of the Ortsbezirk Nord-West and is subdivided into the Stadtbezirke Heddernheim-Ost and Heddernheim-West.

There have been three Mithraea (temples to Mithras) discovered at Heddernheim. A hoard of silver votive plaques was discovered in the Roman settlement of Nida near Heddernheim in the nineteenth century, some of which are in the British Museum. The offerings appear to have been deposited in a shrine dedicated to the Roman God of Jupiter Dolichenus.

Heddernheim was first mentioned in documents in 801 AD as Phetterenheim.

The Heddernheim station serves four lines: U1, U2, U3 and U8 of the Frankfurt U-Bahn.
