Johan Adam Heyns (27 Mei1928 – 5 November1994), was 'n invloedryke Afrikaner Calvinistiese teoloog en moderator van die algemene sinode van die Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK). Hy is vermoor by sy huis in Waterkloofrif, Pretoria. Alhoewel sy moord nooit amptelik opgelos is nie, word dit algemeen aanvaar[2] dat dit direk verwant was tot sy kritiek ten opsigte van apartheid. Nelson Mandela het aan hom hulde gebring as 'n martelaar vir sy land[3] en 'n kryger vir vrede.[4]

Johan Heyns
South African theologian
Johan Adam Heyns (1928–1994) was an Afrikaner Calvinisttheologian and moderator of the general synod of the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk (NGK) in South Africa. He was assassinated at his home in Waterkloof Ridge, Pretoria.
