Portengen is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located in the municipality of Stichtse Vecht, 1 km (0.62 mi) northeast of Kockengen.

Portengen was a separate municipality from 1818 to 1857, when it was merged with Breukelen-Nijenrode.[3]

The hamlet was first mentioned in 1217 as Britannien, and is a reference to Brittany, France. It started as a peat excavation colony during the 11th and 12th century.[4] The hamlet of Portengensebrug is an enclave within Portengen. In 1840, Portengen was home to 55 people.[5]
