Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn (Barneveld, 19 de janeiro de 1851 — Amsterdam, 18 de junho de 1922) foi um astrônomo neerlandês.
Realizou estudos extensivos sobre a Via Láctea, sendo o primeiro a descobrir a evidência da rotação galáctica.
Kapteyn nasceu em Barneveld, indo para a Universidade de Utrecht estudar matemática e física em 1868. Em 1875, após doutorar-se, trabalhou três anos no Observatório de Leiden, tornando-se então o primeiro professor de Astronomia e Mecânica Teórica da Universidade de Groningen, onde permaneceu até a aposentadoria em 1921.
