Cornelis van Nijenrode, also Cornelis van Nieuwroode (born Naarden; died Hirado, 31 January 1633), was governor of the VOC-trading post in Hirado, Japan, from 1623 to 1633.

Cornelis arrived in Asia in 1607. He filled several posts at Dutch East India Company-trading post in Siam. In 1622, he took part in an expedition, sent from Formosa, to the coast of China.

In Japan, Cornelis had a daughter, Cornelia, with a Japanese woman named Surishia.

Cornelis died in 1633, just before he was about to leave for Batavia.
