Nicolaas Grevinckhoven (also Grevinkhoven or Grevinchovius), (? - 1632, Hamburg), was a Remonstrant preacher in Rotterdam during the conflict between the Remonstrants and Counter-Remonstrants at the beginning of the seventeenth century. He studied in Leiden and sided with Arminius in the debate between Arminius and Gomarus. After Arminius's death in 1609, he was a signatory of the Remonstrance of 1610 and participated in the Hague Conference on religion in 1611.
In Rotterdam, where a significant part of the population attended the Remonstrant services, he came into conflict with the strict Calvinists, particularly Adriaan Smout and Cornelis Geselius.
During the persecutions of the Remonstrants after the execution of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and the Synod of Dordrecht, Grevinckhoven fled to Antwerp, where in 1621 he provided shelter to Hugo de Groot, who had just escaped from Loevestein. Later, Grevinckhoven moved to Northern Germany. He is one of the founders of the Remonstrant Reformed Brotherhood, together with colleagues such as Johannes Wtenbogaert, Eduard Poppius, Karl Niëlles, and Johan Arnold Corvinus.
