Herman van Malsen (ca. 1030 - na 1080) is the ancestor of the family van Cuijk (van Cuyck).

Herman was count in Teisterbant, presumably the son of Unroch, count of the Kempen. He is mentioned in various works, and was likely a liegeman of the bishop of Utrecht. His lands were mostly situated in the Betuwe, and around Geldermalsen and Meteren. Before 1096 Henry IV lent him the land van Cuijk. His descendants took the name van Cuijk (van Cuyck).

Herman married Ida, daughter of Eustace II of Boulogne. They had the following children:


 * Hendrik I van Cuijk (+ before 9 August 1108)
 * Andries van Cuijk (+ 1139), bishop of Utrecht.
 * Godfried van Cuijk (+ before 1138)
