Hendrik de Cock (12 April 1801 – 14 November 1842) was a Dutch minister.
Hendrik de Cock protested against the perceived theological liberalism in the Netherlands government controlled Dutch Reformed Church in the 18th century. This protest led to the Secession (Afscheiding) of 1834. He is sometimes called the father of the Secession of 1834.
