Lambertus Jozef (Bert) Bakker (3 April 1912 in Huizum (
Leeuwarden) – 19 September 1969 in

Dutch writer and publisher in the
Netherlands. He wrote literary studies, two novels, poetry, and children's books. In
World War II he was involved in the
Dutch Resistance and assisted in the (illegal at the time) publication of ''

Martinus Nijhoff,
Gerrit Achterberg, and
