Hendrik Christoffel van de Hulst (Utrecht, 19 de novembro de 1918 — Leiden, 31 de julho de 2000) foi um astrofísico neerlandês. Participou da 11ª Conferência de Solvay, em 1958.
Hendrik Christoffel "Henk" van de Hulst (19 November 1918 – 31 July 2000) was a Dutch astronomer. In 1944, while a student in Utrecht, he predicted the existence of the 21 cm hyperfine line of neutral interstellar hydrogen.
Hendrik Christoffel van de Hulst was a Dutch astronomer who predicted theoretically the 21-cm (8.2-inch) radio waves produced by interstellar hydrogen atoms. His calculations later proved valuable in mapping the Milky Way Galaxy and were the basis for radio astronomy during its early development.
