Franz Moormans (1832-1893) was a Dutch scholar and orientalist, known for his expertise in Indonesian languages and cultures. He contributed to the study of Javanese and Malay literature during the 19th century, a time when the Netherlands had colonial interests in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia).

Moormans worked on translations and linguistic research, helping to document and analyze local languages. His academic contributions were valuable to the field of Indonesian studies, particularly in understanding Javanese texts and their historical context.
