Isaak Augustijn Rumpf (1673–1723) was a Governor of Dutch Ceylon. He was appointed on 5 December 1716 and was Governor until 11 June 1723, when he died in office.
Rumpf (sometimes spelled Rumph) was the son of the diplomat Christiaan Constantijn Rumpf (1633, The Hague - 1706, Stockholm) and Elisabeth Pierrat de Longueville (1646 - 1675). He obtained a Doctor of Laws degree at Leiden University and left for the Indies early in 1707. En route, on 26 June 1707 in Cape Town,[1] he married Gijsberta Joanna Blesius (born 1686, Cape Town). Isaak and Gijsberta had a daughter Susanna. Gijsberta remarried in 1726 as widow Rumpf with Mr. Everhard Kraayvanger of Macassar, Advocate Fiscaal of India.
