Eric van der Burg (born 9 October 1965) is a Dutch politician, who served as State Secretary for Justice and Security in the fourth Rutte cabinet between January 2022 and July 2024.

From December 2020 to February 2021, van der Berg served as the vice-chairman of the temporary Research Proposal Committee for a parliamentary inquiry into discrimination in the Netherlands.

[2][5] On 10 January 2022, Van der Burg joined the fourth Rutte cabinet as State Secretary for Justice and Security.

[6] When the Christian Union opposed his party’s proposal to create a two-tier system for asylum seekers, with people under threat of persecution granted more rights than those fleeing war zones, and to cap the number of family members who could join refugees in the second category at 200 per year, Van der Burg reportedly proposed a compromise by making the family reunification rule an “emergency brake” which would only be triggered if the country’s migration facilities were at risk of becoming overcrowded.

[12] In the House, Van der Burg served as the VVD's spokesperson on foreign affairs and Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Van der Burg condemned pro-Palestinian protests on Dutch university campuses, saying that they included antisemitic acts and that ethnic violence in other conflicts such as the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War sparked less outrage.
