Johannes Gaultherus van der Corput (4 September 1890 – 13 September 1975) was a Dutch mathematician, working in the field of analytic number theory.

He was one of the founders of the Mathematisch Centrum in Amsterdam, of which he also was the first director.

From 1953 on, Van der Corput worked in the United States at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Van der Corput introduced the Van der Corput lemma, a technique for creating an upper bound on the measure of a set drawn from harmonic analysis, and the Van der Corput theorem on equidistribution modulo 1.
