Arnoldus Montanus (c. 1625–1683) was a Dutch teacher and author who published books on theology, history, and geography of both the Netherlands and faraway countries.
Montanus, a Latinized form of van den Berg or van Bergen, was born in Amsterdam and studied theology at Leiden University. He became a minister in Schellingwoude in 1653 and in Schoonhoven, where he also became headmaster of the Latin School, in 1667. He died in Schoonhoven.
His most famous book is De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld.
