Janus Tulp is a Dutch comedy in four acts by Justus van Maurik Jr ()[].

The original text

Inspired by Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Van Maurik created "Janus Tulp" as a type of "Hollandse burgeredelman" (lit "citizen aristocrat"), a barber who had become rich. The play was published by Scheltema and Holtema, Amsterdam, 1879.

The name "Janus Tulp" has since become a metaphor in the Netherlands.
