Cornelis "Cees" Berkhouwer (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /kɔrˈneːlɪz ˈbɛr(ə)kˌɦʌuər/, 19 March 1919, Alkmaar – 5 October 1992, Alkmaar) was a Dutch politician.
He was a Member of the European Parliament between 1964 and 1984, for the Dutch People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, which sat as part of the Liberal Democrat group in the Parliament. Between 13 March 1973 and 10 March 1975, he served as President of the European Parliament.
