Robert Frank Willem "Wim" Kortenoeven (born 29 May 1955) is a Dutch author, journalist and former politician.

Kortenoeven engages in political developments in the Middle East, focusing on the Arab-Israeli conflict. He also writes about Jewish history. On these subjects he gives lectures and guest lectures and contributes to Israël-Aktueel, the monthly magazine of the Dutch foundation Christians for Israel.

He is a supporter of the State of Israel as well as Judaism and strongly opposes Islam and Arab and other supposed adversaries of Israel, like Iran, and has said that Islam is the most important negative factor in the Israeli peace process. He is director of the pro-Israel lobby organisation Netherlands-Israel Public Affairs Committee (NIPAC), a Dutch equivalent of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
