Johannes Gerardus Hendrikus "Hans" Janmaat (3 November 1934 – 9 June 2002) was a Dutch businessman and politician of the Centre Party (CP) who later founded the Centre Democrats (CD).
Although he was widely known, he was never a major force in the Dutch political landscape,[1] partly because of a cordon sanitaire imposed by Prime Minister Ruud Lubbers's third cabinet.
