Willem Frederik Holleeder (born May 29, 1958 in Amsterdam, Noord-Holland) is a Dutch criminal. He was one of the perpetrators (among them also Cor van Hout) of the kidnapping of brewery president, Freddy Heineken in 1983, for which Holleeder received a jail sentence of 11 years.

Holleeder is currently (as of November 2007) imprisoned and on trial for alleged extortions of various real estate magnates, including Willem Endstra, who was murdered in 2004. A total of twenty-four people are suspected of being part of a crime ring controlled by Holleeder.

The Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf" reported on July 16, 2006, that Holleeder and Cor van Hout had planned to kidnap Prince Bernhard instead of Freddy Heineken in the 1980s. Thomas van der Bijl, who was murdered in his bar in Amsterdam in April 2006, made these allegations in a deposition before the Dutch national police.
