Johan Evertsen de Liefde (c. 1619 – 21 August 1673) was a Dutch naval commander who served as vice admiral of Holland and West Frisia within the Admiralty of Rotterdam.

During the First Anglo-Dutch War, De Liefde in 1652 again took service, first as captain of Jonas, a ship of the municipality fleet of the city, and subsequently as a commander of the admiralty vessel Dordrecht.

On 4 November 1657, while part of the fleet of Lieutenant Admiral Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam blockaded Lisbon, De Liefde captured a ship of the Portuguese sugar fleet returning from Brazil, gaining him much personal wealth.

At the onset of the Second Anglo-Dutch War, on 29 January 1665, De Liefde, having returned to service the Admiralty of the Maze, replaced Aert Jansse van Nes as acting rear admiral.

Shortly afterwards, using Klein Hollandia as his flagship, he fought in the battle of Lowestoft as second-in-command of the second squadron, commanded by Johan Evertsen.
