Laurina Christina (Rineke) Verbrugge (born 12 March 1965 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch logician and computer scientist known for her work on interpretability logic and provability logic. She completed her PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 1993 under the supervision of Dick de Jongh, Anne Troelstra, and Albert Visser.

She holds the chair of Logic and Cognition at the University of Groningen's Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, where she has been the leader of the Multi-Agent Systems working group since 2002. She is particularly known for her work connecting formal logic to cognition and developmental psychology and the role of logic in explaining social behaviour.

From 2005 to 2021, she was the President (voorzitter) of the Nederlandse Vereniging voor Logica & Wijsbegeerte der Exacte Wetenschappen (VvL; Dutch Association for Logic and Philosophy of the Exact Sciences). In 2021, she was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Verbrugge is an associate editor of the Journal of Logic, Language and Information.
