Gerlach Cornelis Joannes van Reenen

Gerlach Cornelis Joannes van Reenen (30 September 1818, in Amsterdam – 31 May 1893, in The Hague) was a Dutch politician.

After being a minister he became a member of the Council of State serving as Vice-President from 1876 to 1893.

With Van Reenen as vice-president the Council of State became regent in short periods in 1889 and 1890, because of the illness of king William III, who became increasingly demented and was not able to perform his duties.

After the passing of king William III, the heir, Wilhelmina, was underage, and he became chairman of the regency committee.
