Marcus Jordanus, born around 1531 in Krempe and dead there in 1595, was a Danish cartographer and mathematician who studied at the University of Copenhagen, where he was appointed professor of mathematics in 1550 and lectured on geodesy and on the geography of Ptolemy. In 1552 he published with the printer Hans Vingaard a map of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, one of the first printed maps of them and cited by Abraham Ortelius, though the map is now lost. In 1553 Christian III commissioned him to map the provinces of the realm, and in 1559 he published another map of the duchies with a calendar for 1558 to 1585. He later returned to his birthplace, where he was mayor in 1568 and 1582.
