Gerardina Tjaberta van Ysselsteyn (1892 – 1975) was a Dutch art historian and textile specialist who wrote several books on the Dutch textile industry.[2]

Van Ysselsteyn was born in Rotterdam as the daughter of the civil engineer Hendrik Albert van IJsselsteyn [nl], Minister of Agriculture and Economics of the Netherlands from 1918 to 1922, after whom the village of Ysselsteyn has been named.[1][3]

In 1931, van Ysselsteyn conjectured that the Huguenot tract Vindiciae contra tyrannos published in 1579, whose authorship is still unclear, was a collaboration between Hubert Languet and Philippe de Mornay.[4]
