Codex Boreelianus (Gregory-Aland no. Fe or 09) is a 9th century uncial manuscript of the four gospels in Greek. The codex contains 204 leaves (28.5 cm by 22 cm), with large lacunae in Luke, and small lacks in rest of the gospels. It has the Ammonian sections but not the Eusebian Canons, and is written in late uncials.

Codex Boreelianus is named for Johannes Boreel, Dutch Ambassador at the Court of James I of England, who once possessed the codex. Since 1830, the codex has been located in Utrecht University (Univ. Bibl. Ms. 1). The Greek text of this codex is representative of the Byzantine text-type. Aland placed it in Category V.
