About Johannes Govertus De Man
- Johannes Govertus de Man (May 2, 1850 in Middelburg – January 9, 1930 in Middelburg), was a Dutch biologist.
- He was assistant curator at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie (Dutch for national natural history museum) in Leiden, where he specialised in free-living nematodes and decapod crustaceans, although he also wrote papers on flatworms, sipunculids and, in his dissertation only, vertebrates.
- His change away from vertebrates disappointed the director of the museum, and de Man left his job there after eleven years.
- For the rest of his life, de Man worked at his parents' house in Middelburg and later at a house near the shore at Yerseke in the Oosterschelde estuary, relying on his family's private income.
