Jacob van den Eynde (c. 1515 – 8 or 12 March 1569) was a Dutch statesman, Pensionary of the Brugse Vrije, Pensionary of Delft, and Grand Pensionary of Holland.
Jacob van den Eynde was first Councilor and Pensionary of Delft. In 1560 he became Grand Pensionary of Holland. In 1568 he was accused of heresy (or heterodoxy). His property was confiscated, and he was imprisoned by order of Maximilian of Hénin-Liétard, Count of Bossu, Stadholder of Holland and Utrecht. He was transferred to Brussels and kept in prison there while awaiting trial. Depending on the source, he died in the Treurenberg of Brussels, the Castle of Vilvoorde, or in the Koudenbergpoort before his trial even started. A year and a half after his death, he was found innocent, and his confiscated property was returned to his family.
He was succeeded by Paulus Buys.
