Jan Dijkema (born 23 September 1944) is a Dutch politician, sociologist and President of the International Skating Union.

[1][2] Dijkema studied sociology at the University of Groningen and was at the age of 32 in 1978 the youngest member of the Dutch government.

In the province of Overijssel he was then a member of the provincial government for economic affairs as representative on behalf of the PvdA, where he was confronted with the restructuring of Twente after the textile crisis: "We were able to do a lot with European funds."

In 2016 Dijkema was elected president of the International Skating Union during the congress in Dubrovnik as successor to the retiring Italian Ottavio Cinquanta.

From the start of Dijkema's presidency, the ISU is building a new fan-centric cross-media strategy, (especially) showcasing the skaters.
