Jan Nagel (Haarlem, 1560 – The Hague, 1602) was a Dutch painter and draughtsman from North-Holland. According to artist and biographer Karel van Mander, Jan Nagel was probably born in Haarlem. In 1600, he became a member of the Guild of Saint Luke in The Hague, where he died two years later.

Jan Nagel’s style clearly bears witness to the Italian Renaissance, and he mainly painted historical and religious scenes. For example, one of his most famous paintings, Zondvloed (‘The Great Flood’) represents the Biblical story of the same name, where a flood destroyed an entire civilisation.
