Jacomina Hondius (Latinized version of her Dutch name: Jacomijntje de Hond) (1558 – 1628) was a Flemish and Dutch calligrapher notable for being the first female European calligrapher to have signed examples of her work published.

Hondius contributed two signed plates to her brother Jodocus Hondius’ anthology of European calligraphy, Theatrum artis scribendi, "the first international calligraphic anthology." Her pieces were published under the name "Jacquemyne Hondius" alongside the work of a number of well-established artists such as John de Beauchesne, the author of the first copy-book in English. She does not appear to have published anything further under her own name.

Jacomina "Mien" van den Berg (1909 - 1996) was a Dutch gymnast who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics, earning a gold medal.
