Hinksland () is a peninsula in eastern Greenland. It is a part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
The peninsula is named after Arthur R. Hinks, Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 1915–45.
Geography Hinksland is limited to the northwest by the Daugaard-Jensen Glacier, beyond which lies Charcot Land, to the northeast by the Nordvestfjord of the Scoresby Sound and to the south by the Flyver Fjord. To the southwest the peninsula is attached to the mainland. The Renland peninsula lies to the southeast, beyond Th. Sørensen Land and Nathorst Land to the north, across the Nordvestfjord. The highest point of the peninsula is a mountain located in the southern part rising above the Flyver Fjord.
Geologically Hinksland is part of the Vestfjord-Hinksland gneiss and schist zone crystalline complex.Harold Williams ed. Geology of the Appalachian—Caledonian Orogen in Canada and Greenland, p. 898
