Cornelis Musius (Dutch: Cornelis Muys; 1500–1572) was a Dutch Catholic priest and Neo-Latin poet. He was the last rector of the Sint Agathaklooster in Delft, until hanged without due process on 10 or 11 December 1572. Although never officially canonised, he has long been regarded as a martyr by Dutch Catholics.
