Dirk Cornelis de Hooch (1613–1651) was a 17th-century Dutch portrait painter, who lived and worked in The Hague (the Netherlands).

Born in 1613 at The Hague, he was a son of a Dutch bailiff, Cornelis de Hooch and his wife Jannetje Dirx van Doverschey. He was Gerrit de Hooch's uncle. He painted portraits and was a pupil of painter Pieter Quast. Dirk was a friend of Jan Jansz Buesem and (Ebeleyn), who both testified on his behalf in 1649. In 1645 he married Anna Heckselaer from Utrecht, widow of . Dirk Cornelisz murdered a fish seller called Stouthart in The Hague. Presumably for this reason, he fled to Königsberg (present-day Kaliningrad), but is mentioned again in The Hague in 1651 repeatedly harassing verbally a certain Magdaleentje Ariens Colijns.
