Lysken (Lijsken, Lysken or Lynken Vermeulen, wife of Maerten van Wijk or Maerten Thomaessen) was an Anabaptist martyr who was burned at the stake on 5 May 1571 at Antwerp, Belgium, with her husband and Gillis van Havere. Van Braght gives the date of execution as 2 May, and states that Lysken was in prison for about one year.
