Hendrick Danckerts (c.1625, The Hague - 1680, Amsterdam) was a Dutch painter and engraver.

Danckerts learned his trade in The Hague, where he stayed until 1653. He visited England for the first time in 1650. In 1653 he went to Italy, where he stayed for five years. He then moved to England where he entered the service of Charles and the Duke of York. He painted landscapes, especially views of harbours and royal residences. He also produced portraits and devotional pictures and made engravings after the Italian old masters in the Royal Collection. He left England in 1679 due to the public hostility towards Catholics after the Popish Plot controversy.
