Gijsbert Franco Baron von Derfelden van Hinderstein (July 12, 1783 - May 17, 1857) was a Dutch nobleman and cartographer active in the early to mid-19th century. Von Derfelden was born in Utrecht to Friedrich Johann Baron von Derfelden (1744 - 1808), an officer of Baltic-German nobility from Estonia who enlisted in the Dutch army at the age of 12, and Wilhelmina Elisabeth Henriette van Flodorp (1748- 1823), daughter of a minister from Meerssen near Maastricht. Through his mother, he inherited lordship over Hinderstein and Snellenburg. He exhibited an early proficiency in mathematics and geography, collecting maps and subscribing to geographic and hydrographic journals. In 1815, he became one of just eight nobles of foreign origin to receive a Knighthood of Utrecht. In 1823, at his own request, he was appointed Chamberlain of the King in extraordinary service. He leveraged this relationship to receive a royal commission for a large general map of the Dutch East Indies. For his services to the country for producing this map, the 1842 Algemene Kaart van Nederlandsch Oostindie, he was appointed Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion. He dedicated the remainder of his career to scholarly correspondence regarding cartographic matters, including the boundary between Europe and Asia, the sources of the Nile, and the standardization of the prime meridian.
