'''Abtsregt''' is a former [[municipality]] in the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] province of [[South Holland]]. It was located about 4 km southeast of [[Delft]]. The municipality existed from 1817 to 1855, when it merged with [[Vrijenban]].<ref>Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. [http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061]</ref> It had around 200 inhabitants at that time.
 
According to historian Van der Aa<ref>{{vanderAa-AW|A}}</ref>, the name of the area ("Abbot's right") derives from an ancient privilege of the [[abbot]] of [[Egmond (municipality)|Egmond]]. Until 1595, he was entitled to choose the best property of any inhabitant of Abtsregt who died in the area.
