Cornelis van Poelenburch, 1594/1595 – 1667, was a Dutch painter from Utrecht. By 1610 he was apprenticed to Abraham Bloemaert, and he was first recorded in Rome in 1617.
Poelenburch painted small-scale Italianate landscapes with biblical, mythological, and classical subjects. He worked for Cosimo II de’ Medici in Florence in 1620–1621, later worked at the courts in The Hague, and was appointed court painter to Charles I in 1637.
After living in London from 1637 to 1641, Poelenburch returned to Utrecht, where he died in 1667. His work is represented by institutions including the National Gallery, London; the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC.
