Antonius Cornelis Boerma (17 August 1852, Leiden - 26 August 1908, Ede, Gelderland) was a Dutch architect. Raised in Leiden, he spent most of his life in Amsterdam.[1]

In Amsterdam designed the Huis met de Kabouters, the Lutkie & Smit building on Nieuwendijk, the Bestelhuis van den Boekhandel on Spuistraat, the Café 'De Bisschop' on the corner of the Damrak, and he co-designed the Veemarkt in Cruquiuseiland. He also built many Catholic churches and buildings for institutions, both in Amsterdam and elsewhere in the Netherlands.[2]
