Pieter Willemsz Verhoeff (c. 1573 – 22 May 1609) was a Dutch admiral of the Admiralty of Amsterdam, notable for his voyage to Asia between 1607 and 1612.
A fleet of 13 ships commanded by him left Texel in December of 1607, with secret orders to capture Malacca from the Portuguese. He arrived in the Straits of Malacca in 1608 and after a series of unsuccessful attempts to capture the city, he retreated.
