Jonker Jan van der Noot (1539–1595) was a Netherlandish writer who is regarded as the first Renaissance poet in Dutch.

Jan van der Noot was born to a noble family in Brecht, in the Duchy of Brabant, about halfway between Antwerp and Breda.

In 1567, during the early stages of the Dutch Revolt, he was implicated in an attempted coup in Antwerp and fled to England.

It was a combined work in verse and prose, reflecting on the deceits and shortcomings of the world.

[1] In Antwerp he produced a series of volumes of new verse, all with the title De poeticsche werken.
