Cornelis (born 27 July 1953) is a West Kalimantan governor from 2008 to 2018. He got his master's degree in law from a university in Pontianak in 2004. He is the second Dayak governor in the province after Oevaang Oeray.[1]

He has been accused by Agus Setiadji, leader of the United Malay People, of sidelining Malays and only giving government jobs and funds to Dayaks.[2] He was reelected once in 2013, and his second term expired on 14 January 2018.[3]
