Jan Pieterszoon Beelthouwer (c. 1603 – c. 1665) was a Dutch Collegiant controversialist of unorthodox beliefs from Enkhuizen. He propagated Socinian views.[1]
From around 1644 he had public debates with Isaac Montalto, Jacob Judah Leon and Menasseh ben Israel, Sephardic Jews of Amsterdam.[2] He was regarded as a heretic in Enkhuizen from 1656. He wrote against the conservative Mennonite apothecary Lambert Bidloo.[3]
