Philippus Jacobus Idenburg (1901-1995) was a Dutch educationalist and statistician.[1]

Philip was the son of Philip Kohnstamm, professor of education at the University of Amsterdam. He joined the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics) where he worked except for a short break until retirement in 1966.[1] In 1940 he was involved with Gerd Arntz in salvaging the work of the Mundaneum in The Hague, transfrerring the material to the Dutch Foundation for Statistics which he set up under the leadership of Jan van Ettinger and Arntz. In 1943 Arntz was conscripted into the German Army, and when he returned to the Netherlands in 1946, Idenburg vouched for him and enabled him to return to his previous job.[2]
