Jan Kruis (8 June 1933 – 19 January 2017) was a Dutch comics artist most well known for the strip Jack, Jacky and the Juniors.

He began creating comics as a child. Later he worked for the Dutch comics pioneer Marten Toonder.

Kruis started his own comics career drawing Prins Freddie for the magazine De Havenloods., but became famous thanks to his series of one-pagers called Jan, Jans en de Kinderen ("Jack, Jacky and the Juniors"). It first appeared in the woman's magazine Libelle on December 12, 1970. In German-speaking Switzerland it appeared in the magazine Spick which targeted children and teenagers; and in Germany Favorit published it for some time under the name "Ulli, Ulla und die Kinder".

Kruis received the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 1996. Two years later he retired. Daughter Andrea Kruis has followed in her father's footsteps.

In 2013 his career was celebrated in a one-off glossy-zine; this includes previously unpublished gags of a comic about an infant punk raised by a gay couple; hence the nickname "Jan, Jan en de Kinderen" ("Jack, Jack and the Juniors").

At 20 January 2017 a good friend of the family informed the press about his death one day before. Jan Kruis died in his hometown Mantinge (Drenthe) at the age of 83.
