Rijckloff van Goens (Rees, June 24 1619 – Amsterdam, November 14 1682) was Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1678-1681. He wrote extensively about his travels to Ceylon and India.
His writing about visits to the palaces of Sultan Agung and his successors are important references for historians of the Mataram era in Java.
