Jan Hoynck van Papendrecht (18 September 1858, Amsterdam - 11 December 1933, The Hague) was a Dutch painter and illustrator, famed for his military art.

The artist's father, John Cornelis Hoynck van Papendrecht, was an accomplished student of drawing and painting, a skill that manifested itself in him from an early age.

His fame as an illustrator was definitively established in 1893 following his contributions to a series of books that recorded the history of the Dutch Horse Artillery Corps (The Yellow Riders).

Jan Hoynck van Papendrecht's oil paintings were famous, especially after his participation in the 1884 Exhibition of Living Masters in Amsterdam, and garnered prestigious prizes.
