Sidney Greidanus (born 1935) is an American pastor and biblical scholar.

Greidanus studied at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary before obtaining a Th.D. from the Free University in Amsterdam.

Greidanus is best known for his emphasis on preaching Christ from Old Testament texts. He outlined his method for doing this in Preaching Christ from the Old Testament (1999) and followed this up with Preaching Christ from Genesis (2007), Preaching Christ from Ecclesiastes (2010), and Preaching Christ from Daniel (2012).

He has been described as "one of the most important and influential authors today in the area of biblical preaching."[2]
