Aise Johan de Jong (born 30 January 1966) is a Dutch mathematician born in Belgium. He currently is a professor of mathematics at Columbia University. His research interest includes algebraic geometry.

De Jong attended high school in The Hague, obtained his master's degree at Leiden University and earned his doctorate at the Radboud University Nijmegen in 1992, under supervision of Frans Oort and Joseph H. M. Steenbrink.

He won the Cole Prize in 2000 for his work on singularity. In the same year, De Jong became a correspondent of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Professor de Jong has also spent the past few years working on the Stacks Project, "an open source textbook and reference work on algebraic stacks and the algebraic geometry needed to define them." The book the project has generated currently runs to more than 5,500 pages as of January 2017.
