Reinder Aart Nummerdor (born 10 September 1976) is a Dutch volleyball player, who represented his native country at two consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 2000. After taking up beach volleyball, he represented the Netherlands at two more Olympics.

Having finished in fifth place in Sydney, Australia he ended up in ninth place with the Dutch Men's National Team four years later in Athens, Greece.[1] He earned a total number of 349 caps, and teamed up with Richard Schuil after the Athens Games for a career in beach volleyball. On 12 May 2007 in Bahrain, the two won their first FIVB World Tour gold medal. They won a silver medal in the same tour on 1 July in Stavanger. They reached the quarter-finals at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and the semi-finals in 2012.[2][3] They lost in the bronze medal match against Plavins and Smedins of Latvia.[3] Following Schuil's retirement, Nummerdor paired with Christiaan Varenhorst.

Nummerdor is married with the Dutch volleyball player Manon Nummerdor-Flier.
