Jan van Neck (1634–1714), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

[1] According to Houbraken his father was a doctor who apprenticed him to Jacob Adriaensz Backer to learn draftsmanship.

[2] He painted historical allegories, portraits, and scenes of naked women bathing.

Houbraken wrote that he was a friendly man with many entertaining stories, and he consulted him as a source for his books while he was bedridden.

He mentions also that Neck was a great friend of Dirck Ferreris, whose collection of drawings and papierkunst or paper-art (probably paper-cuts) came into his possession on his death.
