Cornelis Lely (September 23, 1854, Amsterdam - January 22, 1929, The Hague) was a Dutch civil engineer and statesman. He was the figure responsible for the Zuiderzee Works, which meant the enclosure of the Zuiderzee by means of the Afsluitdijk, and subsequently draining parts of it into polders. All this was the result of a combination of his technical knowledge and administrative power.
