The Het Huis te Cruyenstien was a Dutch East India Company ship of 1,154 tons, built in 1697 at the Zeeland Yard for the Zeeland Chamber of the Dutch East India Company, and commanded by Jan van de Vijver.

Het Huis te Cruyenstien was wrecked on the rocks in the bay at Oudekraal on the Cape Peninsula on 27 May 1698 in thick mist as they were trying to find the way into Table Bay.

The ship was on its maiden voyage outward-bound from Wielingen, which they had left on 1 February 1698, with a cargo of 19 chests of pieces-of-eight (approximately 57 000 pieces). No lives were lost during the sinking, with a large proportion of the Cargo recovered in contemporary salvage. With the discovery of the ship in the 1960s, many coins were loasted by locals. Very few coins from this wreck have come to the numismatic market.
