Dirk IV (ca. 1020/1030 – 13 January 1049) was Count of Holland from 1039 to 1049 (which was called Frisia at that time). Dirk’s date of birth is unknown but it was probably ca. 1030 or shortly before he was described as adolescent at the time of his death. His base of operations was the stronghold his father built at Vlaardingen. Contemporary chroniclers referred to him (in Latin) as Theodericus de Phlardirtinga (Vlaardingen) and as margrave thereof.
