Cornelis of Glymes or Cornelis of Bergen (1 April 1458 – 1508/1509) was an Admiral of the Netherlands.

He was born in Wouw, the second son of John II of Glymes (1417–1494), Lord of Bergen op Zoom, and his wife Margaretha of Rouveroy. His elder brother was John III of Glymes, First Chamberlain.

Cornelis participated in the Battle of Nancy (1477) and the Battle of Guinegate (1479). He also commanded the fortress of Grave, an important Habsburg stronghold in the war against Guelders. Between 1490 and 1491, he was Admiral of the Netherlands, and participated in the submission of the Flemish rebellion against Maximilian of Austria. He was succeeded by Philip of Burgundy-Beveren.
