Artiestenhof is a hofje in the Trompstraat in the Dutch city of The Hague.

It is a sidestreet branching off from the Piet Hein street. Around 1850, the older part of the Trompstraat had five courtyards and many businesses. The street was christened in 1872 by Sophie of the Netherlands, who was the owner of the land. The Trompstraat was extended around 1875 with higher-end properties.

In the middle of the courtyard is a large communal garden, which before World War II was divided so that all houses had their own piece of garden.
