Jacquemijntje Garniers (c. 1590 — 8 September 1651) was a midwife, and possibly an amateur painter, from Ypres, West Flanders. She was widowed four times and had a total of four children, including the Dutch painter Gabriël Metsu. She was a city midwife in Leiden, in the modern province of South Holland, and also worked as an independent midwife. She died in Leiden and had silver objects and three houses in her possession at the time of her death.
