Jeronimus Cornelisz (1598 – October 2, 1629) (properly Corneliszoon, 'son of Cornelis') was a Frisian apothecary and Dutch East India Company (VOC) merchant. In June 1629 he led one of the bloodiest mutinies in history after the merchant ship Batavia was wrecked in the Houtman Abrolhos, a chain of coral islands off the west coast of Australia.
