Olger van Dijk (born 4 January 1979) is a Dutch politician from the New Social Contract who was elected to the Dutch Parliament in the 2023 Dutch general election.[1]

In 2024, Van Dijk and Habtamu de Hoop (GL/PvdA) proposed a bill that would allow provinces to establish their own public transport companies. They are required to tender to corporations, and some provinces were encountering difficulties in receiving sufficient bids. Van Dijk believed a public company could lead to improved accessibility and service for students and the elderly, in particular.[2]
