Jacob Abraham Uitenhage de Mist (20 April 1749 – 3 August 1823) was a Dutch statesman.
He was Head of State of the National Assembly of the Batavian Republic from 17 April 1797 – 1 May 1797, and Commissioner-General of the Cape Colony during the interregnum from 21 February 1803 – 25 September 1804, in accordance with the short-lived Treaty of Amiens.
The Cape Colony had been under Dutch control from 1652.
In 1795 it was occupied by the British following the Battle of Muizenberg but, under the final terms of peace in 1802 among Great Britain, France and the Netherlands (then known as the Batavian Republic), the colony was restored to the Batavian Republic.
