Jan Barend Hendrik van Royen (born May 9, 1830 in Huissen , † July 31, 1909 in Nijmegen ) was a Dutch officer.

The son of JB van Royen and HJH van der Hoek was appointed a cadet at the Military Academy in Breda in 1847 and was appointed lieutenant in the infantry there in July 1851. He came to the Nijmegen garrison and was seconded to the Academy from 1858–59, where he taught French. In March 1862 he was transferred back to the infantry and seconded to the general staff. In 1864 he came to the Gorinchem garrison as a captain, in 1867 to Utrecht and in 1876 as a major to Gelderland, Arnhem. At his request, he was honorable discharge from military service on September 10, 1879.

He had two sons from relationships abroad. In July 1857 he married in Nijmegen LA Bijleveld (1833-1915), with whom he had four other sons.

"The wheel pump is, so to speak, a Poncelet wheel driven backwards in a precisely fitting channel with some mechanical force ."

He had already dealt with drainage during his military service. His great interest in technology led him to work with the civil or civil engineer H. Overmars Jr., who had invented a pump wheel, described in Het pomprad of nieuwen scheprad (1869) and the brochure Het waterwerktuig genaamd: pomprad (1871), which they patented in Utrecht. Your Wateropvoeringswerktuig (water lifting machine , pumping station) was used in Prussia, Italy and Hungary. The main application was the soil reclamation of 5000 ha near the southern Hungarian city of Vršac (Werschetz). After the Tisza was flooded in 1897, Overmars had made proposals to prevent it.

Van Royen also messed with the dikemaster of the High Home Council Hoogheemraad .
