Pieter Lodewijk Tak (Middelburg, 24 September 1848 - Domburg, 26 August 1907) was a Dutch journalist and politician. Tak was the son of a steward in Middelburg, where, after failing law school in 1878, he started writing foreign reviews for the Middelburgsche Courant. He was friends with Floor Wibaut, who like him was a member of the Sociëteit Sint-Joris. Both Middelburgers moved to the capital, Branch in 1882. There he wrote for De Groene Amsterdammer and De Nieuwe Gids. From the latter he took over the financial management of Frank van der Goes.
