Joachim Hoppers, occasionally Latinized to Hopperus[1] (11 November 1523 – 11 December 1576), was a jurist and professor in the Habsburg Netherlands.

After attending the Latin School of Haarlem, Hoppers studied law and philosophy in Leuven, Paris and Orléans.

In that capacity he wrote an overview of the events of 1566 in the Netherlands, known as the Recueil de Hopperus.

This is evident from parts of the Tabula, a work about a flourishing period in Friesland, among others, which he wrote in Frisian.

Here he was able to apply his educational ideas which he described in Ferdinandus, sive de institutionale principis.
