Hans Bol (16 December 1534 – 20 November 1593), was a Flemish painter in the Northern Mannerist style.

Bol was born in Mechelen. He received his early training from his two uncles who were also painters. He then was the apprentice to a Mechelen watercolorist and tempera painter at the age of fourteen. Because Bol’s watercolors became so widely reproduced, he began creating miniatures on parchment. The technique earned him many international clients and a good income. In addition, Bol also produced several oil paintings, illuminated manuscripts, drawings, and engravings. He created landscapes, mythological, allegorical and biblical scenes, and genre paintings. He died in Amsterdam, aged 58.
