Bernardus Jozua Karel (Bernard Joshua Charles of B.J.K.) Cramer (Delft, 4 March 1890 - 1978) was a Dutch architect.

He worked in the Dutch East Indies from 1918 until approximately 1923 in Batavia, Dutch East Indies as part of the Civil Service Public Works (Batavia bij de Dienst Burgerlijke). He returned to the Netherlands in 1923 and founded his own architectural firm.[1]
