Nicolaas 'Nic' Jonk (Grootschermer, 11 July 1928 - Alkmaar, 11 October 1994) was a Dutch visual artist, best known for his voluptuous sculptures of mythological subjects, women and animals. He took evening classes at the school of applied arts in Amsterdam and trained in sculpture at the Rijksakademie.
In 1965 he settled in Grootschermer, where he laid out a sculpture park. In some two hundred locations in Dutch public space stands a sculpture by his hand; in addition, work stands in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Curaçao and the United States. He is among the most important post-war Dutch sculptors.
