Johannes Hermanus Koekkoek (17 August 1778 – 9 January 1851) was a Dutch painter and draughtsman.
He and his wife, Anna née Koolwijk, had four sons who all became painters: Barend Cornelis, Marinus Adrianus, Johannes [de], and Hermanus.
There, he found work at a carpet and wallpaper factory owned by Thomas Gaal, a decorative painter, who gave him his first lessons.
He also took classes at the Middelburg Drawing Academy, where he studied with plaster models and learned engraving.
