Martinus Jacob van Doorn (2 June 1905, Padang – 17 May 1940, Uccle) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist in the Expressionist style.

He lived in Oegstgeest for a year, then moved to Rotterdam, where he met and married the pianist, Annie Vermeulen, known as "Akkie".

In 1931, he was commissioned to provide the sets for La Boîte à Joujoux, a ballet by Claude Debussy.

[3] That same year, he moved to Achterhoek, near the German border, and began to be depressed about the political situation.
