Wobbe Hendrik Alkema (Nieuw-Buinen, February 11, 1900 – Kampen, January 30, 1984) was a Dutch artist.
In 1913, the Alkema family moved to Groningen. Alkema became an apprentice furniture maker and took lessons in line and technical drawing at the Avondvaktekenschool. In 1919, he enrolled in summer classes at the Academie Minerva. He also took drawing lessons from the sculptor Willem Valk. He soon decided against becoming a furniture maker. He initially earned his living as a draftsman for a glass company and a stonemason, respectively. In 1948, Alkema moved to Groningen again. The work that emerged in the 1950s shows features of surrealism. In 1951, he became a member of De Ploeg again, but shortly afterwards joined Het Narrenschip, the artists' group that was founded in 1950 by Ekke Kleima, Jan Jordens and Jan van der Zee.
Alkema lived in Assen and Eelde, among other places. In 1958, the Alkema family moved to Kampen, where Wobbe Alkema died at the age of 83.
