Fluitsma & Van Tijn (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈflœytsmaː ʔɛɱ vɑn ˈtɛin]) is a Dutch writing duo made up of Jochem Fluitsma (born in Amsterdam on 1 June 1958) and Eric van Tijn (born in Amsterdam on 2 November 1956).

The two gained popularity in 1996, when they wrote the song "15 miljoen mensen" for a commercial for Postbank N.V.. The song quickly became very popular which led to a longer recording.[1] The single was very commercially successful, peaking at number one on the Dutch Top 40 chart and the Singles Top 100 where it stayed for two consecutive weeks.[2][3]

They won the Golden Harp Dutch music award in 1997.[4]
