Hoyte van Hoytema ASC (Dutch: [ˈɦɔitə vɑnˈɦɔitəmaː]; born 4 October 1971) is a Dutch and Swedish cinematographer. He has received two Academy Awards for Best Cinematography nominations for the Christopher Nolan–directed films Dunkirk (2017) and Oppenheimer (2023), winning the Oscar for the latter.

Hoyte van Hoytema was born in Horgen on 4 October 1971, the son of Dutch parents. The family returned to the Netherlands shortly after his birth. He later moved to Poland to study at Łódź Film School.

Van Hoytema's work as a cinematographer includes Let the Right One In (2008), The Fighter (2010), Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), Her (2013), the James Bond film Spectre (2015), Ad Astra (2019), and Nope (2022). His collaborations with directors Mikael Marcimain, Tomas Alfredson, and Christopher Nolan have earned him critical acclaim; his collaborations with Nolan include Interstellar (2014), Dunkirk (2017), Tenet (2020), and Oppenheimer (2023).

Van Hoytema's work has been highly praised by film critics and audiences alike and has earned him multiple awards, including an Academy Award with two nominations and a BAFTA Award with four nominations for Best Cinematography. He is a member of the American Society of Cinematographers, the Swedish Society of Cinematographers, and the Netherlands Society of Cinematographers.

Van Hoytema said of his birthplace and family, "I'm not affiliated with Switzerland. I'm born there, that is all. My parents were there very briefly. They are both from Holland. I'm Dutch, but it has been over 20 years since I was in Holland. What has been important for my career has taken place in Sweden. I have a Swedish wife and a Swedish daughter, and I feel adopted by Sweden. I feel most connected to Sweden."
