Wil Hartog (born 28 May 1948 in Abbekerk North Holland) is a former Grand Prix motorcycle road racer. In 1977 Hartog became the first Dutchman to win a 500cc Grand Prix when he claimed a victory at the Dutch TT. That victory earned him a ride with the Suzuki factory team as a team-mate to Barry Sheene. Hartog won five Grands Prix during his career. Standing over six feet tall he was at a disadvantage against his jockey-sized competitors yet he still managed impressive results.
