Cornelis van Steenoven (also known as Cornelius Steenoven; died April 3, 1725, in Leiden) was a Dutch Roman Catholic priest who later served as the seventh Old Catholic Archbishop of Utrecht (following the Dutch Mission lineage) from 1724 to 1725. Consecrated without the permission of the pope, Steenoven was at the center of the 18th-century controversy between national churches and what many considered to be the overreaching powers of the papacy.
