'''Dennis Johannes van Wijk''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈdɛnɪ ɕoːˈɦɑnəs fɑɱ ˈʋɛik}};{{efn|In isolation, ''Dennis'', ''Johannes'' and ''van'' are pronounced {{IPA|nl|ˈdɛnɪs|}}, {{IPA|nl|joːˈɦɑnəs|}} and {{IPA|nl|vɑn|}}, respectively.}} born 16 December 1962) is a Dutch [[association football|football]] coach and former football player.

Van Wijk was a left-back who began his career in the youth system of [[Ajax Amsterdam]]. He was unable to break into the first team and joined Norwich City F.C. in 1982. He spent four years at [[Carrow Road]] and was a member of the Norwich teams that won the [[EFL Cup|English League Cup]] in 1985 and the Second Division Championship in 1986. In that 1985 final, Van Wijk conceded a penalty kick when he handled in the area. To the relief of Van Wijk and Norwich, [[Clive Walker (footballer, born 1957)|Clive Walker]] of [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] missed the penalty and Norwich won 1–0.

After leaving Norwich, Van Wijk played for a series of teams until 1995. He won the Belgian League championship and Belgian Supercup with [[Club Brugge]] . After having managed several Belgium teams since 1995, he became manager of [[Willem II Tilburg]] in the Netherlands in 2006. On 4 November 2007, he left the club due to bad performances of the team. 

Van Wijk is the son of former professional footballer [[Hassie van Wijk]].
