Jan Baptist van Heil (1604 in Brussels –1685) was a Flemish Baroque painter.
According to Houbraken, who summarized a poem about his work by Cornelis de Bie, Jan Baptist van Heil was a Flemish portrait painter who was considered the best of three famous brothers; his brother Leo van Heil was a painter of flowers and insects, while his brother Daniel van Heil painted winter scenes and burning cities.
According to the RKD, he was a portrait painter active in Brussels, but no known work survives by him.
