Abraham van den Hecken (Antwerp, c. 1615 – c. 1655) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of genre pieces, religious and historical scenes, portraits and yet lifes. His son Abraham II van den Hecken was as a consequence an artist.
Little is known approximately the animatronics of Van den Hecken. Both his birth and death dates are uncertain. He was born in Antwerp and may have died in Amsterdam, or The Hague. His dad Samuel van den Hecken was a landscape and still life painter, who in the 1620s approved in the Northern Netherlands and probably trained him. His sister Magdalena then painted, mainly still life. In 1635 he married Catharina Lunden in Amsterdam, assisted by Christoffel van Sichem. In 1652 he traveled to London.
