Eemdijk is a small village on the river Eem in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It lies in the municipality of Bunschoten, about 3 km west of Bunschoten-Spakenburg, and has a population of about 800. Formerly, most of the population consisted of farmers or factory workers.

The village has a small ferry, which is still in use (except on Sundays). The singer Drs. P recorded the video clip for his song De veerpont ("The ferry") in Eemdijk.
