Andre " Dries " van der Lof ( born August 23, 1919 in Emmen, † 24 May 1990 in Enschede) was a Dutch racing driver.

Dries van der Lof drove both circuit racing and rallying in the early 1950s. When the Grand Prix of the Netherlands was granted the status of a World Cup race in Zandvoort, the organizers tried to vehicles for the two Dutchman Jan Flinterman and Dries van der Lof. Van der Lof got a place at HWM and drove his Formula 2 HWM Grand Prix. The Dutchman spent but with a defect in the magneto most of the time in the pits.
