Jan Frederik König (unknown – 17 April 1810) was a colonial administrator on the Gold Coast, who served as acting commander of the Dutch Gold Coast between 4 August 1808 and 23 February 1810.
König made a career in the colonial administration of the Dutch Gold Coast, being appointed on 12 May 1801 as resident of Fort Amsterdam at Kormantin.
[3] When the acting governor-general Isaac de Roever repatriated to the Batavian Republic to recover from illness on 16 June 1805, König as the most senior resident on the Gold Coast was the logical successor.
[5] The siege was still ongoing when the recently arrived Abraham de Veer was installed as commandant-general on 5 March 1810 to succeed König.
De Veer's appointment referred specifically to the disputes among the colonial administrators on the Gold Coast, and it was De Veer's first and foremost task to put an end to these disputes by putting a "new order of business" in place.
