Hansje van Halem (born 1978) is a Dutch graphic designer and type designer. Her work is typified by geometric, repetitive, sometimes almost psychedelic patterns.

Hansje van Halem studied graphic and typographic design at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague from 1998 to 2000. In 2003 she subsequently graduated in Graphic Design from the Rietveld Academy. Since 2003 she has her own studio in Amsterdam.

Van Halem's designs have been exhibited in many museums, mainly in the Netherlands and the United States.[1] In 2017, a solo exhibition of her work took place at the Bijzondere Collecties van de Universiteit van Amsterdam.[2] Works by Hansje van Halem are included in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

Since 2017, she has been the head designer of the Lowlands festival, for which she works with programmers and animators.[3] In 2018, she received a Dutch Design Award for her Lowlands designs.[4]
