Vrij Nederland (Free Netherlands) is a Dutch magazine which was established during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II as an underground newspaper but has since grown into a magazine. The weekly magazine is generally considered to be intellectually left-wing. It is conventionally considered to be one of the four most influential written media in its sector, along with HP/De Tijd, De Groene Amsterdammer and Elsevier.

- H.M. van Randwijk, Mathieu Smedts (1955-1969)
- Rinus Ferdinandusse (1969-1996)
- Joop van Tijn (1991-1997)
- Oscar Garschagen (1998-2000)
