Johannes Theodoor (or Theodorus) de Visser (9 February 1857 – 14 April 1932) was a Dutch preacher and politician for the Christian Historical Union (CHU).

[1] In 1897 he came to the House of Representatives for the small Christian Historical Voters' League and remained a member of it (with interruptions) until 1918.

During this period, he worked closely with the Free Anti Revolutionary Party led by Alexander de Savornin Lohman.

De Visser was praised for his defence of the bill in the House of Representatives, and its passing was met with applause in the plenary chamber.

In 1924, he temporarily suspended compulsory education in the seventh grade, increased class sizes and introduced a system of unpaid teaching assistants.

[2] Furthermore, the Coalition parties were unhappy about his reluctance to extend the equal funding of special schools beyond lower education.

[2] Although he had an aversion to the use of Bible texts in Parliament, he conducted a theologically oriented debate about subsidies for the Olympic Games in 1925.
