Adriaan van der Hoop (28 April 1778, in Amsterdam – 17 March 1854, in Amsterdam) was a Dutch banker and in the first half of the 19th century one of the richest men in the Netherlands.
He also was an influential politician: a member of the city council, the States-Provincial in Haarlem and the Senate in The Hague.

On his death he left 250 paintings to the city of Amsterdam, who could barely pay the inheritance tax.
