Jodocus de Weerdt (Josse van Weerdt, ca. 1555-1560 in Antwerp – August 4 or 5, 1625) was a writer of Neo-Latin poetry from the Spanish Netherlands. He is remembered for the two strange collections of Latin chronograms, palindromes, acrostics, anagrams, and tautograms that are listed below. The first celebrates the Twelve Years' Truce, After studying law in Cologne, he had become syndic of Antwerp by 1609. Little else is known of his life. He is said to be buried in the Franciscan monastery in Antwerp.
