Huibert Victor Quispel (3 June 1906 – 2 May 1995) was a Dutch naval officer.

During World War II, he was the director of the Netherlands Indies Government Information Service based in Australia—the service was established as an intelligence-gathering and propaganda organisation during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, and after the war, the Indonesian National Revolution.[1]

In 1960, Quispel wrote The Job and the Tools, one of only two English language histories of the Royal Netherlands Navy.[2]
