Arnoldus Bernardus Jacobus Kuijlaars (born 1963) is a Dutch mathematician, specializing in approximation theory.^[1]

Kuijlaars completed his undergraduate studies at the Eindhoven University of Technology and received in 1991 his Ph.D. from Utrecht University with thesis Approximation of Metric Spaces with Applications in Potential Theory.^[2] Currently he is a professor at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

In 1998 Kuijlaars won the triennially awarded Popov prize.^[3] In 2010 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Hyderabad. In 2011 he was elected a corresponding member of the KNAW.^[4][5] In 2013 he was elected a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
